Parents Sharing Books With Young Deaf Children in Spoken English and in BSL: The Common and Diverse Features of Different Language Settings

Abstract: Twelve parents of young deaf children were recorded sharing books with their deaf child--six from families using British Sign Language (BSL) and six from families using spoken English. Although all families were engaged in sharing books with their deaf child and concerned to promote literacy development, they approached the task differently and had different expectations in terms of outcome. The sign bilingual families concentrated on using the book to promote BSL development, engaging in discussion around the… Show more

“…Much less is known about families and their very young children with hearing loss (HL). From limited research in the field, parents of young children with HL may be challenged while reading storybooks with their children due to the auditory and language delays of their children (Swanwick & Watson, 2007; Zaidman-Zait & Dromi, 2007). Thus, global programs and instructional procedures that highlight JBR for children with NH may not fully and appropriately support families and their very young children with HL who participate in early intervention programs.…”

“…Todd utilizes a number of strategies similar to those found with deaf parents reading to their deaf children [26]. He used signing to build background knowledge, to share personal experience tied to book theme, and to persons and objects in pictures.…”

“…Mason [22] has conducted a series of intervention studies and has reviewed other studies which show causal links between storybook reading to children and emergent and later reading achievement. Thus, we utilized a deaf native signer to provide the ASL telling and reading of the story and a speech-language pathologist to provide the stories in spoken English only (see [26] for similar procedures). Following up activities included discussion of concepts and vocabulary, relating story to students' personal experiences, art and play-acting experiences using both languages.…”

“…Some studies 4,5 claim that deaf children do not develop the written form of their dominant language at an appropriate age. However, for this to occur, one must consider that social interaction and promoting actions for significant literacy practices among deaf children, their parents, friends, and teachers are fundamental [6][7][8] .…”
