You can set the thumb keys to read paragraph by paragraph. That's what I
had mine set to.
When a person reads, you should press the advance and back keys to move
forward and back by a display length and use the previous and next thumb
keys to move from one paragraph to another.
The previous and next keys can be set to move line by line, sentence by
sentence, paragraph by paragraph.

To answer your first question, I think it would be easier to use the thumb
keys to read a document in Braille. 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.

A couple of things I don't understand.
1. 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
