her. They found a teacher named Anne Sullivan,

operation and regained her sight. Helen's first
word was "water". She learned this word when

wrote W.A.T,E,R on her hand. Then she learnt
the words with this method. Anne taught her for
years. In 1890, Helen's family sent her to the

Life". She also wrote a book about Anne Sullivan called "Teacher". She wrote
