goodness, Warren!  thank you!--and I will take a closer look and determine
which studies I'd like to read at length--will send you net mail.  You gave me
reading rates--and this will be helpful along with other information to
determine which to read.

My concerns are about those studies:  a.  The attitude of the people doing the
testing/teaching; and b.  the techniques used to read Braille.

I would still like more information about the samples used--both print and
Braille readers.  I do know that myself and others who are adults have been
tested and given comprehension tests and read much faster than the rates in
the studies indicate.  thanks so much for all your efforts!!!  You really did
your homework!  (grin!)
