The family members read the story to the deaf child. The tutor watches and gives helpful hints. The bag contains a copy of the book, a videotape for practice, a bookmark with tips for reading to deaf children, and a guide containing activities to do with the child after reading the story. During the week, family members read the story to the child again and again. If family members forget some signs, they can look at the videotape, which has a deaf signer reading the story, to reinforce what the tutor previously taught.
Family members make note of the number of times they read the story.
They also jot down questions for the next tutoring session. The following week the tutor brings a new book, and the process begins again. Copyright 1997, All Rights Reserved Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center Gallaudet University 800 Florida Ave.
