Deaf Studies & Deaf Education

The second edition of Language and Literacy Development in Children Who are Deaf provides the most current information about teaching language, reading, and writing to deaf children. Models and strategies are clearly described and supported by theory, current research, and numerous examples of how these models and strategies can be used in classrooms with deaf students. The book has been reorganized so teachers can easily follow how to assess a deaf child's current abilities in language and literacy, develop appropriate instructional goals, and choose from among a variety of effective teaching models and strategies.

The second edition discusses issues related to American Sign Language, bilingual education techniques, incorporating technology into instruction, and developing balanced literacy programs for deaf children. Experienced teachers, novice teachers, and individuals becoming teachers of deaf children can use this information to develop a comprehensive language and literacy program for deaf students from preschool through high school.

• Comprehensive treatment of ways to help children who are deaf learn to use language successfully in face-to-face communication and reading and writing.

• The American Sign Language checklist helps teachers assess the ASL development of deaf children (Ch. 1).

• The use of technology for teaching language incorporates technology effectively into instructional models and strategies (Ch. 2).

• Bilingual education models and strategies incorporate best practices in bilingual education for deaf students learning both ASL and English (Chs. 4-5).

• The organizing structure for developmental reading instruction provides a reading and writing curriculum for deaf children that shows teachers how to choose reading and writing models and then select instructional strategies within each model (Ch. 4).

• The framework for content area reading links instruction in the content areas with ways that enable deaf children to read material in these subject areas (Ch. 5).

• Chapter 7 on family literacy helps teachers understand the home literacy environments of their deaf students and the relationship between home and school literacy.

Each chapter includes “Final Comments” and “Suggested Readings.”
