The following points indicate the braille code, format rules, and design techniques that were used for this tactile graphic example.

• Nemeth braille code
• use of open squares big enough to include a possible braille answer (2.1)
• use of double-spaced format for first grade material (2.3)
• omission of print image outlines (2.6)
• spatial format of individual symbols and groups of symbols (6.8.1.1)
• use of solid squares used for shapes (6.8.1.1, 6.11.1.2)
• substitution of simple shapes—not full braille cells—for complex print shapes for kindergarten to third grade materials (6.8.1.1, 11.2.2)
• simplification of three-dimensional figures to two-dimensional figures, for young readers (11.2.2)
