Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

This study of the effects of six days of rapid reading training and rapid reading plus recognition training on the reading rates and comprehension of blind braille-reading adults revealed that speeds of up to 225 words per minute are feasible without a significant loss of comprehension. A review of the literature, the experimental procedures and instructions, and an analysis of pretest and posttest results are included.
