Claywell takes awards in 2020 Braille Challenge Finals By Jack Follman Los Angeles, CA - Braille Institute has announced the winners of the 2020 Braille Challenge Finals competition, and Jenna Claywell of Columbia placed 3rd in the Sophomore Awards (5th-6th Grades) and won the Excellence in Reading Comprehension Award. The top 50 students took part in the Braille Challenge Finals from the more than 1,100 students who participated in one of the more than 50 regional competitions throughout the U.S. and Canada. Jenna was honored at the March meeting of the Adair County School Board, for having won first place in the Kentucky State Braille Competition. Jenna is among the winners featured on the Braille Challenge website at www.brailleinstitute.org/braille-challenge. Braille Challenge celebrated its 20th anniversary with Finals testing and an award ceremony held remotely this year to accommodate social distancing. Contestants competed at five levels (Apprentice through Varsity) in five different categories of braille literacy, including reading comprehension, spelling, speed and accuracy, proofreading, and tactile charts and graphs. This year's Finals events were held remotely which included testing, a week of educational webinars conducted in partnership with industry leaders such as HumanWare and American Printing House for the Blind (APH), virtual social activities for finalists and a live streamed closing award ceremony. The Braille Challenge is the only academic competition of its kind in North America for students who are blind or visually impaired. It motivates students grades 1-12 to hone and practice their braille literacy skills. Visit https://www.brailleinstitute.org/braille-challenge for more information.
