Teaching Braille Reading to Students with Low Vision.

Holbrook, M. C.; Koenig, A. J.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v86 n1 p44-48 Jan 1992

This article discusses ways to teach low vision students to read braille, including both parallel instruction (the student learns to read print and braille simultaneously) and nonparallel instruction (the print-reading student learns braille). The following approaches are briefly described: basal reader, language experience, whole language, patterns, and "read again." (DB)
