Literacies: Overview

The model shares information about the challenges of deaf and hard of hearing students’ reading and writing skills. These challenges affect their success in many school subjects. The model shows four main sections in grey. Three of these sections have their own factors. 

  • The sections are linked in different ways. Some have one-way effects (shown by a solid arrow), while others have two-way effects (shown with a double arrow).
  • Two sections, People’s Roles and Deaf Education Systemic Factors, directly influence the language and literacy development of deaf and hard of hearing students.
  • Perspectives and Partnerships, has an indirect impact on these students’ language and literacy growth.
