<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Trudy,<div>I would want my child to be fast and proficient with Braille before I would let him/her use adible books. I would want my sighted child to be proficient in reading print before he/she used adible books. My daughter "loves" to read books and she did not use adible books unless Braille was not available. Braille wasavailable almost all the time.</div><div>Good Luck!</div><div>Karen Herstein<br><br><div>> From: tlpickrel@hotmail.com<br>> Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:48:00 -0500<br>> To: mdpobc@nfbnet.org<br>> Subject: [Mdpobc] Question of the day<br>> <br>> So last night at parent teacher conference I find out that they have been allowing our son in six grade to do all audiobooks. Reason why I don't know. The language arts teacher said will you please consider allowing him to do this after I stated that this was concerning to me. Because he says he wants reading to be enjoyable. Excepting all thoughts on this. <br>> <br>> Mine is No. Must have Braille under fingers. If their concern is slowness and enjoyment the only way to get that is with repetition. <br>> <br>> What is your thoughts<br>> <br>> Trudy Pickrel<br>> President Md Parent Blind Children. <br>> 301-501-1818<br>> Www.TLCbytheLake.com<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Mdpobc mailing list<br>> Mdpobc@nfbnet.org<br>> http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/mdpobc_nfbnet.org<br>> To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for Mdpobc:<br>> http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/mdpobc_nfbnet.org/hersteink%40hotmail.com<br></div></div> </div></body>
