Tumble Science Podcast for Kids
Kids & Family:Education for Kids
How does reading work in the brain? It’s a question that has fascinated scientists for years. Could braille - the system of raised dots that blind and low vision people use to read - be the key to understanding how it works? We talk to writer Andrew Leland (“The Country of the Blind”) and neuroscientist Simon Fischer-Baum to learn about the invention of braille, and how it could be the key to learning how reading works - for everyone. And we might just solve a bedtime reading mystery along the way.
Learn more about braille on the bonus interview episode on our Patreon, at patreon.com/tumblepodcast.
We have more free resources about braille and the science of reading available on the blog on our website, sciencepodcastforkids.com
