How did Helen Keller learn to write?

Answer 1

Alexander Graham Bell, who was working with deaf children at the time advised the Helen Kellers parents to contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind

The school asked former student Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired and only 20 years old, to become Keller's instructor. It was the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship, evolving into governess and then eventual companion.

Anne Sullivan taught Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, beginning with d-o-l-l for the doll that she had brought Keller as a present.

Keller's big breakthrough in communication came the next month, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water"; she then nearly exhausted Sullivan demanding the names of all the other familiar objects in her world.

Answer 2

Capt. Arthur H. Keller a U.S. Marshall did not give up on his daughter(neither did his second mother). Helen

had vision before she had fever which made her lose all her senses and such. Helen's would say "Wah-wah" to tell and learn "W-A-T-E-R".

At age 7, Kellers took Helen to meet Alexander Graham Bell

(Inventor) in Washington D.C., who recommended Helen to Perkins school

for the blind in Boston. She met 20 year old recent graduate Annie(Anne Sullivan) who became her tutor, and they were best friends, students, explorers of their own world for 49 years.

Learning words--By the summer of 1887, some four months after Annie arrived, and as Helen approached her seventh birthday, sheP had a vocabulary numbering hundreds of words, and was forming simple sentences. Much of her communication was by finger spelling, but she had also learned the shapes of letters.

Learning to write--During the summer of 1887 she could print using block letters. To write she used a grooved writing board that was placed over a sheet of paper. Helen wrote the letters in the grooves, writing with a pencil and guiding the end of the pencil with the index finger of her left hand. She began to mail letters to her relatives. That same summer Helen also learned the Braille alphabet.

Perkins School--In the spring of 1888, as Helen approached 8 years old she left Alabama with Annie to go to the Perkins School in Boston. This was the first of several trips to the school. Helen was exposed to a wonderful array of resources and her abilities increased. She learned quickly and had an exceptional memory for details. Her capacity for quick learning and retention gave her the name of "miracle" child.
