FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Most students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) struggle with acquiring literacy skills, some as a direct result of their hearing loss, some because they are receiving insufficient modifications to access the general education curriculum, and some because they have additional learning challenges necessitating significant program modifications. Additionally, instructional practices for DHH students tend to be directed toward two sub-populations of DHH students:those with useable access to sound and those without.Literacy Instruction for Students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing describes current, evidence-based practices in teachingliteracy for DHH students and provides practitioners and parents with a process for determining whether a practice is or is not "evidence-based." Easterbrooks and Beals-Alvarez describe the importance of the assessment process in providing on-going progress monitoring to document students' literacy growth as a primary means to direct the course of instruction. They address the five key areas of instruction identified by the National Reading Panel: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency,vocabulary, and comprehension.In this concise guidebook, the authors present the role of assessment in the literacy process, an overview of evidence-based practices, and in the absence ofsuch information, those practices supported by causal factors across the National Reading Panel's five areas of literacy. They also review the evidence base related to writing instruction, present case studies that reflect the diversity within the DHH population, and review the challenges yet to be addressed in deaf education.

Review

"Regardless of how you read, and what you want to read for, I strongly encourage you to consider reading Literacy Instruction. The content of this volume appropriately addresses the complexity of learning to read, and by extension, of teaching students how to read... Literacy Instruction covers a lot of ground in less than 300 pages, for which the authors are to be commended... One of the most significant contributions researchers can make tothe field is to empower students, parents, and teachers to make transparent the evidence base for educational practices for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. I am grateful to the authors of Literacy Instructionfor pointing us toward that larger dialogue." -- Stephanie W. Cawthon, American Annals of the Deaf
