Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book summarizes a study conducted at the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind to establish a standard for reading speed among blind pupils. The study adapted a reading test developed for sighted pupils and applied it to blind pupils of all grades. The author analyzed the results to uncover the factors that most influenced reading speed, and grouped students by grade, age, sex, years of experience with Braille, and intelligence to discover patterns in reading ability. The author identified years of practice and intelligence as primary factors, but also suggested reading habits and vocabulary as potentially important factors based on observations of sighted readers. This book provides valuable insights into the challenges and potential of reading for the blind, offering a foundation for improving reading instruction methods and setting realistic standards for blind students.
