ASL Storytelling Live!
Available to all deaf education classrooms in Texas! We offer free interactive ASL Storytelling Classes through a video connection. Our storytellers meet with classes every week to share a story that matches your student’s reading level or your instructional goals. We make it as easy as possible to join us by providing a free webcam to set up in your classroom. Teachers can also select the best day and times for the weekly ASL Storytelling session.
Reading to young children is the key to improving vocabulary and literacy skills. This program is designed primarily for elementary students but can be adapted for older students. Our storytellers have extensive backgrounds in storytelling and match your student’s language needs. This program is designed for students from a variety of different communication backgrounds, ranging from a background in no signing to students who are fluent in ASL.
