ing: • it is a skill that allows recognition of the most relevant information from a situation in order to establish a general pa! ern that may be extended to other contexts. A general pa! ern or an abstract idea may be expressed by means of a universally valid statement. Analyzing Perspectives • : this skill is necessary to recognize the di" erent points of view regarding a controversial issue and the reasons that support them, so that a position can eventually be assumed. Constructing Support • : it is a thinking process oriented to elaborate logical arguments and find proof to support a statement.

The practice of the skill is helpful to learn how to select and organize the available information and transform it into evidence. Reading comprehension in subjects with visual impairment was also an essential topic for the framework. Research has demonstrated that blind individuals learn to read very slowly. The Braille system is the means to achieve that goal but its young users o en lack skills such as discrimination of le! ers and the correct use of meaningful vocabulary which are necessary to carry out a good reading process. For this reason, it is highly recommended to begin the transition from oral language to wri! en language from an early age, focusing on links between sounds, le! ers and the experiences of daily life (Miller & Rash, 2001). Once the readers are familiar with the Braille system, the reading speed can vary according to their ability to move the Þ ngers and make inferences (Huertas & Simon, 1994). However, learning to decode is not the only problem blind people have to deal with. When blindness is congenital, understanding and interpreting texts is a complex task because as Guido (2000) expresses, it takes too much e" ort to recognize terms related to color, shape or size. They need to practice manual-tactile-acoustic exercises to be able to identify objects. Apart from Braille, blind people also have other instruments to approach wri! en information as for example the assisted technology
