Dr. Leala Holcomb, an expert in Deaf education and literacy, says that reading aloud together is a superpower in developing your child’s literacy skills. You are showing your child that sharing stories, perspectives, and information are both joyful and meaningful. Read alouds also helps your child strengthen their understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and story elements. Bring the books to life as you read, and don’t forget to pause and talk about the book as you go. Presented by Dr. Leala Holcomb and interpreted by Dr. Hannah Dostal.
This video is part of our special series, Reading SOS, where parents ask the experts their questions about reading and how to support their kids at home.
