Wetzel, Robin; Knowlton, Marie
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v94 n3 p146-54 Mar 2000
A comparison of reading rates of 24 print readers and 23 Braille readers on oral reading, silent reading, and studying, found significant differences as a function of reading group and reading task but no group-by-task interaction. Less than one-third of the Braille readers read slower than print readers. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
