How do I love reading? Let me count the ways.
The love for reading starts when infants are born. Having a natural language access to reading is important for literacy development. Deaf and hard of hearing children learn how to read by reading to learn with the right tools geared to their language needs. By applying accurate and effective strategies, Deaf and hard of hearing children would be able to thrive and enjoy reading with their families and peers. Real-life applications would allow Deaf and hard of hearing children to expand their vocabulary, to bridge concept to meaning, and to build a strong foundation for language. Often at times, Deaf and hard of hearing children would not continue to read as the text gets more abstract and complex, this presentation would give the parents the tools on how to keep reading alive at home when their children become teenagers. A few research studies (Allen et al., 2014; Berke, 2013; Morford & Mayberry, 2000) indicated that early access to reading is crucial for Deaf and hard of hearing children in literacy development. We need to provide efficient and effective means for positive literacy interactions at home.
