You would probably benefit from reading and even going through the surfs up
training program provided with JAWS. There is a link to it in the help menu
under web resources.
You can read the articles in the same way as you would read a word document
either by using up and down to move through the article and back if required by
line or jaws with down arrow to read everything from the cursor onwards.
I don’t know if you have started teaching this person JAWS yet but if not then
I would suggest he learns something else before the Internet e.g. email. This
will get him used to document navigation while allowing him to achieve
something by sending an email. Using the internet is one of the hardest things
to teach as every webpage is different so you can only teach a general set of
rules. If the person is well adjusted and determined he will do well but if he
is the kind of person who never listens who is still rather bitter about losing
his sight he may well find the internet quite frustrating. Patients is really
important as there is no substitute for practice. I find that in general
teaching someone who does not have access to the internet between lessons is
therefore particularly tricky.
If he really insists on reading that paper he may wish to join Talking
Newspapers Association as he can download the newspaper or have it sent to him

Hiya .. thanks for your prompt reply!
the website is http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ and it will give me links to the
headers of each article and read them to me, but how do i get it to actually
read me the blocks of text beneath the heading/title of the article? there is
not one specific article, its all of them.
Cheers
Jane

Hi
I have been asked to set up and learn JAWS for someone else and then
teach/assist this man. He has total blindness.
I have found this quite difficult, but have learnt a great deal. However, i
wonder if there is anyone out there who could help me. My present focus is the
Telegraph online, a UK newspaper, via internet explorer . I can access the
links/headings/frames list box, and move/tab through these lists, but for some
reason i am unable to find the keystroke that allows me to read the actual
article that i want to read. I am given all the headings and links, but it wont
actually read the text below the heading.
What am i doing wrong? or have i clicked a box somewhere in the settings that
is restricting me?
Would greatly appreciate any help on this.
Jane Askew
