Louis Braille was born inFrancein1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things
from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day when Louis
was 3 years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. He soon
became completely blind. When he was 10 years old, he entered the National Institute for the blind
inParis. One day his class went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit
was very interesting for Louis. It showed message in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no
one else can read them. The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper. Louis thought a
lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so the blind could “read” with their fingers.
It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a “cell” of
six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down. So blind people can read and write
even write music by Braille.
