Once Helen could spell a few words, her teacher gave her slips of cardboard with raised letters printed on them. She quickly learned that each printed word stood for an object, an act or a quality.

She was given a book ‘Reader for beginners’ in which she hunted for the words she knew. Miss Sullivan had great power of description which made Helen easily understood.
