Shared Reading Project

Welcome to the Shared Reading Project!

The Shared Reading Project (SRP) is designed to teach parents and caregivers how to read to their deaf and hard of hearing children using American Sign Language, and to use strategies to make book sharing most effective.

This site helps explain what the Shared Reading Project is, how it works, what the research behind it is, what we are learning, and how sites around the United States can set up their own Shared Reading Project.
