This blog addresses free materials for families of children who are deaf.
Recently I wrote about free books for blind children. I wondered what else was out there for families of children with other disabilities. I am talking about free, ready to use materials.
Are you teaching sign language? Check out the free printable alphabet pages at DLTK’s Growing Together site. As far as I can tell there is no charge for these mini posters that could be used as giant flashcards or could be displayed as an ABC strip in a classroom.
Also, consider printing them in just the blackline format for quick coloring pages for children who are learning the manual alphabet or for deaf children who are studying a particular letter.
Perhaps you are interested in promoting deaf awareness or maybe you have a teen that is glued to the Internet. Try these free sign language ecards. They are available for many different occasions, and you can type in the message that you want. It then shows up in print and with cute fingerspelling hand on the ecard.
Do you know about other freebies that promote deaf awareness? Be sure to email me. I will try to include the information in future blogs.
