Venn Diagrams in a non-Math Grade 3 workbook

[Chris Clemens]

Good morning, I am new to this group, so please excuse my fumbling around to get where I need to be... I am transcribing a Reader/English consumable book for a 3rd grader, and it contains Venn Diagrams! What would be the most clear way to convey this information to an 8 year old?? Thank you for your insight! Maureen

If this is non math it should be posted in Braille Formats/Textbook.

I believe Venn diagrams are drawn for 3rd grade readers.

Welcome to the Forum Maureen! I apologize for not getting to this sooner. Writing from the point-of-view of someone who has done extensive work with tactile diagrams, I would suggest that even at the age of 8 years, it is good to expose young readers to tactile graphics. Something like a Venn diagram is usually fairly simple, however if it contains a large amount of text, you may have to use an alphabetic key, or possibly a simplified tactile graphic along with a transcriber's note explaining how the information is shown in braille.
Hope this helps. If you require further assistance, I suggest that you could post an attachment of the print page with a question under the Tactile Graphics section of the Forum.

Thank you, Betty,
I appreciate your time. Beginning my Nemeth class tomorrow! Hopefully, it will cover all sorts of similar situations! Thanks again! Maureen
