[humanser] ways we read

[Ericka Short]

I am more like you sandy.  In college I  used to take print notes, but I 
took them in class and then from the book.  It seemed to solidify things in 
my brain.  At least it organized the chaos better!  Like you I could take 
them anywhere and rehearse for a test without carrying books or anything 
else.  I literally printed.  I couldn't read my own cursive when I wrote so 
fast.  Then I relied on a cctv because  I had a really hard time with the 
cassette books.  I didn't know they existed until 1990 when I started 
college.

If I had to do it now, I would rather use braille.  I can't read it well 
enough to do it efficiently yet though.  I do take braille with me to the 
doctor's office.  I carry it in a tote bag and just have to make sure my 
coat or purse doesn't sit on it.  Flat dots are erased does and then nothing 
makes sense. I do it because I need the practice.  At the doctor's office I 
don’t' have anything else to distract me like I do at home.  Too much like 
the computer, phone and chores calling my name.  I try to read at least 
three pages a day even if it's the Hadley textbook.  I need to practice 
writing to someone.  it's hard to write to myself when I can still read my 
own grocery lists, etc.
