Helen Keller was a hero to blind and deaf people around the world. Helen Keller’s Babyhood Helen was born in 1880 in the United States. When she was nineteen months old, Helen fell ill. She had a high fever that made her blind and deaf. Before her illness, Helen was a bright and a happy girl. After she lost her ability to see and hear, she became difficult and wild. After Becoming Disabled She shouted and cried. She Began to Learn Words 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 on Helen’s hand. Suddenly, Helen understood. That day, she learned many more words: mother, father, sister-and teacher. Anne was filled with pride. How She Studied As Helen grew old, she made a lot of progress and learned to read. She had special books with letters that she could feel with her fingers. She also learned to write and even speak. When Helen studied at university, Anne sat beside her.
