Hi Jeff:

     Its Terri Wilcox. You know me from our NFB Affiliate and from Braille Camp. I can help you with your Braille Reading speed. Remember, fast readers do not move their lips when they read. Also, use all six fingers. The thumbs and pinkies are not used, but the rest are used for reading Braille. The left hand is more sensitive. If you use more fingers you will not have to read each letter. You will begin to feel shapes of words and your speed will increase drastically. Keep those palms up off the Braille. Cupped hands read faster! Read with both hands together until you reach the last word. Then, the left hand tracks back on the same line while the right hand gets the last word. If you keep your fingers in contact with the Braille, you will not lose speed. Please contact me if you would like help.
