Beyond Strategies: Book Sharing the Deaf Way. DVD 270 mins.4th floor HV2443 .E78 2006
"The program features videos of Deaf teacher-researchers as they share books in ASL with small groups of preschool Deaf children. It focuses on the culturally based literacy practices the Deaf teachers use to hold the children's attention and bring books to life. Following an explanation of each literacy practice, the DVD presents video examples from four book-sharing events. Each of these examples is followed by a discussion among Deaf teachers and their hearing co-teachers as they analyze it. These discussions shed light on the Deaf teachers' insights into both how and why sharing books using Deaf cultural literacy practices contributes to the children's overall development. In addition, the hearing teachers talk about their own insights and experiences as they learned to share books the Deaf Way"
