The present invention provides a print lay-out of conventional textual characters and corresponding Braille characters that facilitates concurrent reading of the textual and the Braille characters, respectively, by a sighted person and a visually impaired, or blind, individual. More particularly, the textual and Braille characters can be presented in a pattern such that each textual character is associated with its corresponding Braille character in a one-to-one relationship. In some embodiment, the print lay-out is applied to one or more concordant pages of a book suitable for simultaneous use by a sighted person and a visually impaired individual.
