My Project

I would like to give my students the opportunity to learn about deafness and being unique by exploring these books.

Increasing Awareness: These books can help students understand the experiences and challenges faced by deaf individuals, fostering empathy and awareness.

Promoting Inclusivity: Learning about deafness can encourage students to appreciate diversity and promote an inclusive environment.

Enhancing Literacy Skills: Engaging with these books can improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills.

Encouraging Self-Reflection: Students can reflect on their own uniqueness and learn to embrace their differences.

Building Confidence: Understanding and celebrating deafness can empower deaf students and boost their self-esteem.
