This fact sheet discusses the importance of literacy for individuals who are deaf-blind, the social functions of reading and writing, and conditions necessary for the development of literacy. Strategies for promoting literacy among this population are described and include: (1) invite children and adults who are deaf-blind to observe as you use the computer, read the newspaper, write notes, read signs, and engage in other literacy activities; (2) arrange specific opportunities for the child or adult to touch adults or young people as they read Braille; (3) read stories to children who are deaf-blind; (4) use accessible labels on rooms, shelves, coat hooks and furniture; (5) pause a moment as a child notices a label, be aware of the child's reaction, and make a simple comment; (6) pause often during story-reading times, notice the child's reactions, and respond to them; (7) use dialog journal with a child who is deaf-blind and who has some beginning reading and writing skills; (8) respond conversationally to any drawing, proto-writing, or writing attempt; (9) accumulate Braille books and other materials; (10) make a story box to accompany a Braille or print story; and (11) adapt storybooks by using textured pictures. (Contains 16 references.) (CR)
