[Melanie Aultman <melaniehaha@YAHOO.COM>]

The American Federation for the Blind has a website to teach sighted children
braille.

                 http://www.afb.org/braillebug/

There are:  -bios of Louis Braille and Helen Keller
                - a Helen Keller Kids Museum online (and archive)
                - a section for parents and teachers (with a calendar of literary 
events and websites)
                 -games (some based on books such as _Harry Potter_ Bud, Not Buddy, 
etc)
                 -a reading club
                 -teachers can get one free and order class sets of Braille Bug 
Alphabet Cards

You can even send a secret message in braille to others via email.

The National Braille Press site http://www.nbp.org/ has some interesting things as 
well.
