About this ebook
Deafness and Literacy Success: Strategies for Building Listening and Spoken Language in Children is a practical, research-informed guide for parents, educators, speech-language professionals, and anyone supporting children who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Himanshi brings together accessible explanations and actionable strategies to help children build listening skills, develop spoken language, and make meaningful progress in reading and literacy. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step approaches for creating a language-rich environment, supporting early speech and listening development, and using everyday routines to strengthen comprehension. The book emphasizes how targeted listening interventions can support phonological awareness, vocabulary growth, and ultimately reading success—without relying on “one-size-fits-all” methods. You’ll also learn how to set goals, track progress, and adapt activities for different communication needs, learning profiles, and levels of amplification or hearing support. Designed to be both empowering and usable, this resource offers guidance you can apply right away in classrooms, clinics, and home settings. Whether you are planning intervention, improving instructional practices, or seeking clarity on how literacy develops for children who are Deaf or hard of hearing, this book provides a roadmap grounded in best practices and real-world outcomes.
