Natives and Newcomers: Gaining Access to Literacy in a Classroom for Deaf Children

Abstract

This article describes a residential school classroom for deaf third‐graders. A critical school skill, the ability to engage in literacy activities, grows from the ability to exploit American Sign Language‐based (ASL) literacy practices. These practices are indigenous to the culture of signing Deaf people and are critical for literacy learning when ASL is the medium of instruction.
