Description

Introduction Literacy is essential for success and an enhanced quality of life in our society. It is estimated that 2-3% of Canadians are Deaf, and most of this group have inadequate literacy skills (Schein, 1996). (Throughout this article deaf refers to the audiological condition of not hearing, and Deaf refers to deaf children and adults who share a language [ASL] and a culture.) This prevents most Deaf people from attaining postsecondary education (Carver, 1991), limits their opportunities for employment (Carbin, 1996), and results in a loss of human potential. Deaf people are disadvantaged not because they cannot hear, but because they cannot read and write. This study suggests that one way of addressing the literacy crisis in the Deaf community is to refine and adapt language arts curricula for Deaf students to incorporate visual language processing, meaning-based strategies, and bilingual teaching principles. Specifically, this study examines the adapted implementation of a familiar language arts activity, writing workshop, to incorporate both American Sign Language and English stories with Deaf students in a bilingual educational setting.
