Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century When he was three years old, a tragic accident

Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind His idea of such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer Barbier had invented a system called

“Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes Soldiers used this system to communicate with one another during the night Louis adapted this system for his own use He got rid of the dashes and produced a simpler system based on dots For example, ‘A’ is represented by a single dot Many blind students found this system much easier to use

This came to be known as the ‘Braille’ system Today, millions of blind people are able to read, thanks to the work of a dedicated, young blind man
