DHH 530 - Literacy Instruction and Assessment for DHH Students Literacy instruction and assessment remains one of the most extensively researched and debated topics in the education of d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) learners. This course explores this research and draws explicit connections between scholarship and practice. Students will analyze the relationship between language modalities of DHH students and literacy processes, and integrate this knowledge to the use of appropriate literacy models and instructional approaches. The efficacy of instructional methods for phonemic awareness/phonics, vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and fluency will be examined as they apply to DHH learners. The course will explore important issues in the literacy lives of DHH learners such as the use of technology and multimedia, community-based instruction, and cross-curricular literacy instruction. Students will perform a comprehensive assessment of literacy skills and develop literacy objectives and an instructional unit to address the needs of a DHH student.
