The Relative Effectiveness of Reading in Large Print and with Low Vision Devices for Students with Low Vision.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koenig, A. J.; And Others – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1992
This paper used a case study approach to explore the value of an objective procedure to evaluate the relative effectiveness of reading large print and reading regular print with low vision devices for 6 students (ages 8-16) with low vision. Data were collected on oral and silent reading rates, working distance, and oral reading miscues. (Author/DB)
