Abstract

Two experimental reading development courses for partially sighted students were conducted at the Institute for the Blind and Partially Sighted in Copenhagen, Denmark. These students read so slowly that they could not complete their study assignments. Each course had four participants. Course 1 ran for six weeks, with two lessons a day. Course 2, which took place 1½ years later, was a more advanced residential course. The goals of the courses were to raise and vary the participants’ reading speed, to help them gain insight into the reading process, and to develop the cognitive aspects of reading. At the end of each course, the participants’ proficiency in reading improved dramatically.
