Could Helen Keller read lips to understand what people were saying?
Yes, Helen Keller did learn to read lips by placing her fingers very gently on a person's lips and side of their face, and her thumb on their larynx, or voice box. This way she could feel the way they moved their mouth, and also the vibrations that their voice made, thus enabling her to read their lips.
