Number of pieces of this exercise
60
General description
This exercise is composed of several pieces, all the same size.
It is intended to have all the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet, and if desired, some specific letter of a specific language, such as: ü, ö, ñ …
- Minimally, the model will be composed of:
26 corresponding to the letters from “a” to “z” of the Latin alphabet. - 23 symbols. The most representative, such as: @ +,. – ( /:; # etc.
- The numbers from 0 to 9 (correspond to the first 10 letters of the alphabet)
This alphabet can be used with gamification techniques inside the classroom, for example simulating the Scrabble game. In this case, it would be convenient to print several pieces of the most common letters, and some bases to support the pieces.

As a gamification technique simulating the Scrabble game. Where by groups of two or more, they can interact by looking for the longest possible words with a certain number of pieces. Of course, always blindfolded.
It can also be used in psychology subjects, to better understand people with different abilities.
What benefits can its use have?
First contact with the Braille alphabet. Benefits:
- By memorizing the symbols with large pieces, it will be easier to move to the second phase, reading at standard size and writing.
- Improvement of concentration and memorization.
- Improvement of photographic memory.
- Put yourself in the role of another person with different abilities.
- Learn to communicate through a different alphabet to the one that is already known.
- Learn through gamification techniques.
- Know symbols of other languages, such as the “ñ” of Spain, „a-ö-ü-ß” of Germany …
