  Hi Christine,

   

  Here are some references that might be helpful for you to build your knowledge in issues around reading Braille for those who can't access printed materials:

   

  Barlow-Brown, F. and Connelly, V. (2002) the Role of Letter Knowledge and Phonological Awareness in Young Braille Readers. Journal of Research in Reading 25 (3), pp 259-270. 

  Crawford, S, Elliot, R. T. and Hoekman, K. (2006) Phoneme, Grapheme, Onset-Rime and Word Analysis in Braille With Young Children, British Journal of Visual Impairment 24 (3), pp. 108-1

  Miller, S. (1997) Reading Through Touch. London: Routledge.

  Pring, L. (1984) A Comparison of the Word Recognition Processes of Blind and Sighted Children. Child Development, 55, pp. 1865-1877.

   

  Linda Pring and Susanna Miller have written extensively around the topic. So you may wish to check their work for some more relevant reading.

   

  I hope this helps,

  Maha

  Hi All,
    I was curious if anyone here might know any information on the following.

    I am teaching a course this semester on psycholinguistics and will be covering speech, text, sign, and Braille perception.

    One of the assignments for the class is to write a critical review of a paper in the field (this is an intro-level course) on the topic.

    Because Braille is the one I am least familiar with,in terms of research, I was wondering if anyone here could point me to one or two moderately basic (these are advanced undergraduates) papers in the field.

    Any thoughts or references would be wonderfully appreciated!
  Warm regards,
  Christine
