The Read Read

Cards with letters on them and a person point to them

The Read Read device assists in braille and phonics learning. Designed and built by Alex Tavares, the Read Read consists of tiles with raised braille and phonic letters that also contain a playable audio track. Each individual tile can be pressed to play the audio representation of that letter and the tiles can be positioned on a conductive grid to form words. This device allows blind or visually impaired individuals to easily and independently learn to read without the need of a personal tutor.
