Hi Terry, I have two different books for grade 3 braille which are slightly different in Braille usage. I do not use it because I think it takes as much time to think of the symbol as it does to write braille in Grade 2. Maybe the fast note takers make a difference too. I also suspect lack of use is also because the general use of braille has been declining. Hence the need to increase Braille Literacy. Colleen Roth
