<font face="Times New Roman, Times">This month's issue features a
first-of-its-kind event. Because we know that helping struggling readers
learn braille is a subject of primary importance to many readers of the
journal, we arranged a special question-and-answer session with Drs. Jane
Erin and Diane Wormsley on how to teach braille effectively. In this
issue of the journal, Diane Wormsley's groundbreaking
<a href="http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubjvib.asp?DocID=jvib050309%20">
I-M-ABLE approach to braille literacy</a> is described, and its
application with students is the subject of Jane Erin's
<a href="http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubjvib.asp?DocID=jvib050306">
Practice Perspectives column.</a> Two case studies written by teachers
<a href="http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubjvib.asp?DocID=jvib050307">Amy
Campbell in the United States</a> and
<a href="http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubjvib.asp?DocID=jvib050308">Vicki
D'Aurizio in Canada</a> explain how young blind students at risk for
remaining functionally illiterate successfully learn to read by exploring
some unusual subjects in their braille lessons. Would you like to ask
these teachers more about what they did to help their students
learn?<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">To take advantage of the opportunity
to talk directly with Drs. Erin and Wormsley and teachers like you, just
