What educators are saying
"I LOVE this resource and have told several other TODs about it. The pages cover a range of grades and skill levels which often occur in classes with Deaf/HH students. The illustrations provide a great deal of visual support. If you are using the Bedrock Literacy Program, you need this resource!"
— Robyn B. (5 Stars)
Do you want an opportunity to increase your D/HH students' vocabulary knowledge using memorable visuals, ASL signs, and written English words? Are you currently using the Bedrock Vocabulary Curriculum in your class? Do your students need to increase their ASL-English word recognition skills? If you answered YES to any of these questions, this resource is for YOU!
Studies show that vocabulary is directly related to language development and that fingerspelling can be used as a tool when teaching phonological awareness to D/HH students. With fingerspelling, students can understand the printed word and also see patterns in words. Fingerspelling also helps D/HH students decode words and builds a direct relationship between ASL and printed English.
Bedrock vocabulary is a weekly visually-based vocabulary for deaf and hard of hearing students created by Kristin A. Di Perri. Deaf children need more opportunities to practice vocabulary.
When paired with other Bedrock-related resources from A+ HomeTutoring's Faith in Literacy store, you can give your students multiple opportunities for group, partner, and independent practice of each week's words.
These practice sheets are GREAT not only for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students, but students with autism and students in early childhood and lower elementary, to help them expand their vocabulary and increase their communication.
