Teachers of deaf children

Many teachers of deaf children have told us about the shortage of good educational resources accessible in BSL – this may be one reason why there is still a significant educational attainment gap between deaf and hearing children.

We hope the provision of some of the best contemporary children’s books, fully accessible in sound, sign, text and pictures or animation, will give you an additional interesting resource around which to build literacy and other lessons.

We have a range of advice from teachers working in both mainstream and special schools where deaf children are learning, and links to resources and suggestions to aid the education of deaf children.
