[blindkid] Ben's Braille

[Crystal Schumacher]

His interest is definately Harry Potter, but his reading level is Dr. Suess. A braille copy of Harry Potter would overwhelm him, but if I loaded it onto his Braille Note and had him read line by line with the voice first, as suggested, this may work. I hadn't really thought that the material from the reading program may also be boring to him. 
 
Thank You
