·Annie Sullivan would be the perfect tutor for Helen.
At first, Annie’s job with Helen seemed impossible.
·When Helen touched the water with one hand for the first time, Annie made the sign for ‘water’ on her hand.
·Each time Helen reached out her hand and touched something new, Annie made the correct signs on Helen’s hand.
·Sign language was soon not enough for Helen. She wanted to learn to read and write, too.
