Crawford, Shauna; Elliott, Robert T.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v103 n1 p30-43 Jan 2009
Four women with visual impairments were taught 13 braille letters as phonemes and another 13 braille letters as graphemes and then were taught 10 braille words as onset-rime and another 10 braille words as whole words. Phoneme and onset-rime instruction resulted in faster and more accurate performance. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
