Literacy and Deaf Education: Toward a Global Understanding – eBook

International perspectives about literacy and deaf students is an uncharted intellectual landscape. Much of the literacy research in deaf education is conducted in English-speaking countries—primarily the United States—but 90% of deaf children live outside the U.S. and learn various signed and spoken languages and diverse writing systems. Many of these children face significant educational challenges. To improve the literacy outcomes of deaf students worldwide, it is imperative to study how children use their local signed and spoken languages along with Deaf culture to learn to read and write. This volume fills a void in the field by providing a global view of recent theoretical and applied research on literacy education for deaf learners.

Literacy and Deaf Education: Toward a Global Understanding (PDF) is organized by region and country. The first part discusses writing systems that use alphabetic scripts, and the second part focuses on countries that use non-alphabetic scripts. Some examples of the broad spectrum of topics covered include communication methodologies, curriculum, script diversity, bilingual education, reading interventions, sociocultural development, and Deaf cultural developments. The contributors provide the results from literacy projects in fifteen countries and regions.

This volume aims to widen the knowledge base, familiarize others in the field with these initiatives, and improve global understandings and outcomes of literacy teaching and learning in deaf education from birth to high school.
