There is a robust body of knowledge suggesting that early language and literacy experiences significantly impact on future academic achievement. However, relatively little has been written with respect to the early literacy development and experiences of deaf children. Connie Mayer and Beverly J. Trezek address this need by providing an in-depth exploration of how young deaf children learn to read and write, identifying the foundational knowledge, abilities, and skills that are fundamental to this process.

In Early Literacy Development in Deaf Children, Connie Mayer and Beverly J. Trezek provide an in-depth, evidence-based description of how young deaf children learn to read and write, with a model of literacy development that makes clear links between theory and practice.
