Research on Adults Reading to Deaf Children

I thought you would be interested in hearing some of the newer research on reading to deaf and hard of hearing children. Every once in awhile, when I find a new article related to research on adults reading to deaf children, I will let you know. Please feel free to add more if you find others!

Books on Reading to Children

A new book that is coming in October 2006 is called, "Let's Read Together: Improving Literacy Outcomes with Adult/Child Interactive Reading Inventory (ACIRI)." It is by Andrea DeBruin-Parecki, Ph.D., and will be published by Brookes Publishers.

The book explains about the quality of shared reading that really affects emergent literacy. It includes the only tool to measure the quality of adult AND child interactions during joint book reading. It is grounded in scientifically based reading research and is extensively field tested.

For more information, go to the web site at http://www.brookespublishing.com/store/books/debruin-parecki-7624/index.htm

It is a good book to look at related to evaluation.

R2DC trainers

Hello.
I wanted to let you know that last week (the last week of April) at the Clerc Center, a group of trainers from the Gallaudet University Regional Centers attended a 3-day training at the Clerc Center. The training helped developed a small group of trainers who are now able to give R2DC (Reading to Deaf Children) 3 or 6-hour workshops. If you are interested in having someone give this training to your Shared Reading Project site, please contact the Gallaudet University Regional Center in your area. -David Schleper, Clerc Center
