[blindkid] Easy page binding method

[Barbara Hammel]

Binding books with the comb binder is a difficult job I'll agree, but she is 
only eight.  As her coordination gets better, her binding skills will get 
better.  It just takes lots of practice.  I'd suggest to let her try every 
time you make a book.  Maybe you could just have her line up the first hole 
to start.  Or just let her do one sheet at a time.  I could be wrong, but I 
think a sighted child at eight might have trouble doing this task, too.
