The Fairview Learning reading program, designed specifically for students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, reflects years of collaboration among educators of the deaf and utilizes best practices. Fairview’s unique program provides individuals the literacy tools to construct mental, linguistic frameworks. These frameworks, specific to each user, allow access and increasing fluency in English and ASL, and ease the movement between the two languages. The program can be seamlessly integrated into any existing reading program, and is both user-friendly and fun.
The Fairview 5-component reading intervention program and training protocol has two goals:
1. to enable deaf students to read and sign more accurately as they begin the arduous ask of simultaneously reading English while thinking in and learning American Sign Language (ASL); and
2. to provide teachers and students of ASL a consistent method to begin learning the language. |
