Variability in Age and Experience among Blind Students Using Basal Reading Materials.

Caton, Hilda; Rankin, Earl

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v74 n4 p147-49 Apr 1980

The study was designed to identify various problems encountered by 194 children who read braille and use conventional basal reading programs transcribed into that medium. The results showed educationally significant variability in chronological age, years in school, and grade level for blind children using basal reader materials designed for sighted readers at specific grade levels.
