A sighted child who is reading at a basic level should be able to understand common words and answer simple questions about the information presented. They should also have enough fluency to get through the material in a timely manner. Over the course of a child's education,these foundations are built on to teach higher levels of math,science,and comprehension skills. Children who are blind not only have the education disadvantage of not being able to see:they also miss out on the very fundamental parts of early and advanced education if not provided with the necessary tools.
