I Am Deaf and Proud Emergent Reader

Cut on the solid lines, stack the pages in order and staple. A grown-up reads each page with children, and the class can learn a few simple signs together.

Two pages with 8 small pages to cut out. The child in the book says I am Deaf, I am proud of who I am, I use ASL, American Sign Language, I talk with my hands, My face shows feelings too, My friends learn signs and I like to read. The last page says This is me! Draw yourself. Each page has a word to trace, such as Deaf, ASL, hands and friends.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

8 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 28 International Day of Persons with Disabilities resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our International Day of Persons with Disabilities activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
