The Shared Reading Project (SRP) is a nationally acclaimed program that helps promote early literacy in young Deaf and Hard of Hearing children. Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind is a Shared Reading Project site. Deaf tutors teach parents and caregivers how to read effectively to their Deaf and Hard of Hearing children using American Sign Language and how to use strategies to make book sharing most effective. Culturally diverse Deaf readers were videotaped as they used American Sign Language to read fun, predictable children's books. Because children love seeing these books read over and over again, the parents have repeated opportunities to practice. Deaf tutors visit the home to demonstrate how to sign the stories, and provide instant feedback to family members. The family uses the videotapes of deaf readers signing the story to reinforce the new signs after the tutor has left. Research shows that parents who read to their children improve the children's ability to learn to read. The Shared Reading Project is being implemented and used throughout the country with great success. SRP is designed for children birth through age eight.
