Beginning Reading and Deaf Children.
Maxwell, Madeline M.
American Annals of the Deaf, v131 n1 p14-20 Mar 1986
The article describes a reading program appropriate for the average deaf children without age-level language abilities. A top-down element features telling stories, reading aloud, creating narratives from the child's experiences, routines with picture books, functional literacy, and environmental print. A bottom-up component stresses letter identification, print concepts, letter sequences, and communication models. (Author/CL)
