New literacy project for deaf and hard of hearing students

Based on the literacy series Between the Lions, a new project called Cornerstones offers literacy units for teachers of young students who are deaf and hard of hearing (and can also be used with students who learn well visually and struggle with literacy). Cornerstones is a technology-infused approach to literacy development, the goals of which are to support reading, writing, vocabulary development and decoding skills through the intensive study of a single story. Using a video-based story, teachers set high expectations for their students around identification of words in print, word knowledge and story comprehension.
