Hey gardengrl! I've seen that email before and I remember when my DS *who is legally blind* was younger and had a vision therapist working w/him. W/magnifying tools etc, she taught him to read script looking at the first and last letter of the word along w/the shape of the words. At the time, I thought it strange, but it works.

He graduated his Jr year and at the top of his class b/c he didn't want to use Braille. So, hope you can all read my typo's here. Thanks for sharing.
