Lueck, Amanda Hall; Bailey, Ian L.; Greer, Robert B.; Tuan, Kuang Mon; Bailey, Valerie M.; Dornbusch, Helen G.

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v97 n6 p335-54 Jun 2003

Six fourth-graders with low vision were asked to read unrelated words and continuous text ranging in print size. Participants read faster when they read text aloud than when they read nonrelated words. Their reading speeds decreased as the print sizes decreased. Methods to maximize reading efficiency are discussed. (Contains references.) (CR)
