Trent, S. D.; Truan, M. B.

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v91 n5 p494-500 Sep-Oct 1997

A study of 30 adolescent Braille readers at the Tennessee School for the Blind found the most important factor related to Braille reading speed was age at onset of blindness. No direct relationships were found between reading speed and comprehension or reading speed and reading for pleasure in Braille. (Author/CR)
