Based on the Reading to Deaf Children: Learning from Deaf Adults manual and videotape, this workshop teaches the effective book-sharing techniques known as the 15 Principles for Reading to Deaf Children. These principles were developed from research studying effective communication strategies deaf adults use when reading to deaf and hard of hearing children.
The workshop focuses on key concerns:
Why is reading important?
How do I use sign language to share stories?
What if I dont know all the signs related to a story?
How do I keep American Sign Language and English visible while reading?
How do I arrange the placement of the child and the book?
Participants learn to recognize and apply the 15 principles for reading to deaf and hard of hearing children. They practice these principles and gain new skills that they can use with their own children or with the children they teach.
This highly interactive workshop is available in a three-hour or six-hour format.
