Yes, those are good suggestions. For some reason, this one student really likes pressing spacebar c to read the current line. Sometimes it moves the cursor to the beginning of the line and he inserts the next line of text in front of the sentence he was writing.
Thanks for the suggestions.

When your student comes to the end of a line on the Braille display, they would just hit the advance thumb key, which is the third one from the left. Most likely, the numbers in a list are on a separate line from the text under that number because the number has a period next to it, for example 3. The BrailleNote thinks the number is a sentence of its own, so it reads it separately. The thumb keys will prevent this. To answer your second question, to move between paragraphs, press space with 5-6 to go to the next paragraph and space with 2-3 to go back a paragraph.

When students write a list of words or sentences, the number is on one line and the words or sentences are on another line. I allow students to use space 1 and space 4 to arrow up and down their documents after they read them in braille. Why doesn't the number stay with the spelling word or sentence? I like new paragraphs to begin on a new line. For some reason, I am having problems figuring out where paragraphs end and begin. The BNs are relatively new and the kids are changing settings. So I am sure it is me not knowing what is going on well enough. Keeps me on my toes. Thanks, Keith ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
