Does Braille Screen Input have a practice mode?

I have a student interesting in learning to use BSI. I can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether there is a practice mode to practice using the BSI-specific gestures. Any help would be appreciated!

Good afternoon,
If you go to settings/accessibility/Voiceover, there is a practice area there & one of the things which can be practiced are the gestures associated with Braille Screen Input.
I'm using it now on my iPad, to type this very comment.
I'd be happy to assist, if you have questions. :)

In addition to the VoiceOver practice environment referenced in the previous comment, VoiceOver Help can be accessed directly from within BSI by entering command mode by swiping left with three fingers, and then pressing K. Here, performing a braille command will cause VoiceOver to speak its function.
