Why is the print alphabet not raised?
People often wonder why the print alphabet is not raised for use by touch. This was tried, however because of the complexity of printed letters, it was found that the raised letters had to be made very large to be felt properly. Slow reading speeds and very bulky books frustrated readers. Other people tried adaptations of printed letters before Dr Moon devised his system, but the comparative simplicity of Moon ensured its success, which has survived the test of time.
