Answer 2

Answer:

Doll was the first word that Miss Anne Sullivan spelled into Helen's hands.

Explanation:

Helen Keller's autobiography "The Story of my Life" is a recounting of the childhood experiences by the author Keller herself. In the book, she recounts the various experiences that she had to endure and the adjustments she had to make in order to live her life as a blind and deaf person.

When she was aged 6, Helen Keller's family got her to a teacher who specializes in her condition. This teacher, Miss Anne Sullivan taught her the various ways to read, write and speak as a blind and deaf person. Helen devotes the book in describing this learning process, especially the spelling of words along with the physical touch of the things. In Chapter IV of the autobiography, Helen told us of her first encounter with her teacher. She had given Helen a doll sent by the blind children at the Perkins Institution. At that moment, Miss Sullivan spelled out the words "d-o-l-l" for her, thus beginning the lesson for years to come.
