Story-sharing, or reading a book with a child, is key to their development of language and literacy skills. This presentation aims to teach professionals how to work with families on productive story-sharing with Deaf and Hard of Hearing children. The research-based curriculum will discuss positioning your child and the book while reading and will explore the ways Deaf parents read to their children and how to incorporate that for families, regardless of the child's language modality. We will also cover rereading a text and how families can expand on literacy skills with each repetition. Through the presentation, we will touch on some examples of picture books that were written for a DHH audience and which serve as positive representation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children.
