[blindkid] TSBVI Assessment Kit Braille Reading Rates

[Chantel Alberhasky]

Thank you so much for this very useful information.  I am very relieved to hear TSBVI will no longer include the reading rates in the Assessment Kits.

Hi Chantel, Carol, &  All,
I think I can shed a bit of light on the TSBVI Assessment Kit numbers. I
have seen 2 sets of numbers, used in different editions of the Assessment
Kit. 
I actually explored their origin in preparation for the Braille Reading Rate
workshop presentation I did with Jerry Whittle at the 2010 National
Convention. A mutual acquaintance put me in touch with Bill Daugherty, the
TSBVI Superintendent. I pointed out to Mr. Daugherty how the Assessment Kit
numbers are being (mis)used, citing several examples similar to your
situation, Chantel.
