Blind and wanting to read--- those were the realities of Louis Braille's life.The desire to read easily led to Braille system.January 4 is Braille Day .That day honors the blind.But we should also remember Louis and what he achieved by age 15.
Louis Braille was born on January 4,1809,in France.He lived with his parents,two older sisters ,and one older brother in a small,stone house in Coupvray.
Three-year-old Louis when to his father's workshop.Louis's father was a saddle maker who made items out of leather.Imitating has father,Louis tried to cut a piece of leather with a small knife .His hand slipped,and the point of the knife went into his eye.The doctors took care of him the best they could,but the injured eye got infected.Then the infection spread to his good eye.Louis became blind.
Louis went to a public school and learned by listening to the techer.To do his homeworke,his sister and afriend read the assignments to him.Soon Louis was at the top of his class.
One day,the pastor of Louis's church came to Louis's house and told his parents of a school for the blind in Paris.Louis's parents decided to send him to the school when he was nine years old.
Louis wanted very much to read.The school had only 14 books for blind people;the books were big and heavy.The letters were large and raised; one book took a long time to read.Louis thought there must be a better way to read.
