Join us for this free workshop designed to foster confidence in story-sharing and literacy development. 

FHSR is partnering with CHS to present a workshop to train early intervention providers in how to most effectively teach families to read with their Deaf and Hard of Hearing children. The research-based curriculum supports all communication modes and will include methodology, instruction, and hands-on practice related to early literacy and story-sharing skills. With this, providers will become better equipped to support families in sharing literature with their children and using books to create language-rich environments within the home. 

Families report that they are often at a loss for how to read with their DHH babies. We know that it is important to get an early start on reading with DHH children and that early reading contributes to increased vocabulary, language development, and print awareness. With this curriculum, we can contribute to a new generation of Deaf and Hard of Hearing readers and better support meeting early language and literacy milestones. 

2 hours of EI CEU credit available. FHSR's EARs book scholarship program will be available to all families of DT-Hs who utilize this Early Literacy program. Additionally, all DT-Hs and SLPs who attend the training will get a starter book set.

This workshop will be held via zoom on April 17th from 6-8 pm.
