Abstract
The challenge of supporting literacy among deaf children is as much linguistic as educational,
since a major stumbling block can be the lack of a firm first language foundation. It is critical to
meet this challenge, given the range of serious negative correlates to illiteracy. Students on the
campuses of Gallaudet University and Swarthmore College collaborate to address this issue in an
inter-institutional course in which we make bimodal-bilingual videobooks designed for enjoyable
shared reading activities between deaf children and their caretakers. These videobooks bring a
good signing model into the home and help develop a range of essential preliteracy skills.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
