     Helen wanted to understand other people．Sometimes, she stood between her mother and her father．She put her hands on their mouths．She could feel them talk．She felt one mouth move, and then the other mouth move．What were they doing? Helen didn't know．She shouted and cried．

    In 1887, a young teacher, Anne Sullivan, began to help Helen．She spelled words on Helen' s hand with her fingers．At first, the words didn't mean anything to Helen．Then, one day, Helen was playing in some water．Anne Sullivan spelled W - A - T - E - R onto Helen' s hand．Suddenly, Helen understood.

     As Helen grew older, she learned to read．She had special books with letters she could touch．She also learned to write and even speak．When Helen studied at university, Anne Sullivan sat beside her．She listened to the professors’ words, and then spelled their words onto Helen' s hand．
