Review Quotes: "Kathy MacMillan has done it again! Literacy for all children is foundational! Reading for young children should involve many senses to help scaffold early literacy for Deaf and nonDeaf children. In the series about Nita and her family, the author not only fosters engagement with the book through written print, stimulating art, and kinesthetic participation cultivating learning printed English, but also supporting literacy via American Sign Language (ASL). Research has shown that children that are taught and/or exposed to ASL at a young age (both hearing and Deaf children) have higher reading and writing scores at an older age as well as having fewer tantrums, boosting vocabulary, and more. Littles who learn some ASL do not have to fully be fluent in Sign Language to reap the benefits of higher reading scores."--Dr. Lisalee D.
