The Bridge Between ASL and English: A Focus on Phonological Awareness

Ohio has a strong focus on literacy for every learner. What we know about literacy is that phonological awareness is a critical component of learning to read. Phonological awareness is often associated solely with auditory access but there are many ways to access phonological awareness. This module reviews the major components of reading and provides strategies to support phonological awareness for learners who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Participants will be able to:

• Describe how all learners are part of Ohio’s Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement
• Describe best practice strategies around language and literacy for learners who are deaf/hard of hearing.
• Identify resources around language and literacy for learners who are deaf/hard of hearing.
