“Picture This Figurative Language in English Context” (Purple workbook)
$ 20
This workbook, though beyond the beginning
level, provides a clear format for considering how
figurative language "works" without high
level vocabulary and difficult syntax. Using simple vocabulary
...
abulary
and comprehensible context, each page has a single word that is
used figuratively in two very short paragraphs (e.g. LIGHT- 1) eat a light
lunch, 2) to feel light headed). Students read the paragraph, discuss the
intent, provide evidence from details in the paragraph that lead to
their definition of the highlighted phrase. They then illustrate the
paragraph.

or a warm-up to the school day or in-between activities. In my many years of working as an educational interpreter, I noticed that it was not unusual for deaf and hard-of-hearing students who were behind their peers struggle with answering questions that began with: "What's your favorite . . .?" Often, they would answer "yes" or not be sure how to answer. The beauty of this type of worksheet is that there is no wrong answer, it is short-yet-effective, and it exposes students to a variety of categories and vocabulary within a specific domain. If time allows, it can open up a discussion on the topic. Gradually, this type of practice worksheet will help students learn how to answer this common question that seems easy on the surface, but not for those that may not have the background knowledge and vocabulary necessary to answer it.The thumbnail for this “What’s Your Favorite?” series will have a violet purple background - violet for vocabulary!

“Picture This Multiple Meanings for Beginning English Readers” (Orange workbook)
$ 20
This workbook contains 60 target multiple meaning words in
sentences for beginning readers. Each page highlights a single English word
(e.g. hard ) and uses it in two separate, contextualized
sente
...
tences (e.g. 1) Brian can't sleep. His bed is too hard. 2) The
teacher gave a math test. It was hard ! ). The student reads
each sentence. If translating to ASL, the student decides which ASL handshape
was used to make the sign for the target word in each sentence. The student
cuts out the related ASL Handshape from a copied page with all handshapes and
pastes it in the correct box. As each sentence uses a multiple meaning for the
word the handshapes used will be different-visually signifying the difference
in meaning despite the same English word. Finally the student illustrates the
sentence meaning. Vocabulary and sentences are kept simple to ensure cognitive
energy is focused of the meaning of the word in context.The

What are “endonyms”This is a story to help children/students who wear hearing aids understand why they may go to the doctor and/or ENT more often than others. The story can be read for comprehension. It teaches new vocabulary and creates a wonderful language opportunity for students to better advocate for themselves at school, home, and the doctor/ENT office. This story was written with younger children and their families and older students who continue to come to school with blocked hearing aids and do not use an interpreter for language access.Service Activity for EI-ECSE Families & Home VisitsFor any family, this story can be an important conversation starter, or reminder, to understand the language impact of even partially clogged hearing aids for their kid(s) who are not using signs. This can be demonstrated to parents by using a listening tube when their child’s hearing aid is plugged in and cleaned, and then having them listen again to the difference in clarity of language coming through the hearing aid to their child’s brain.Story Printable OptionPrint each two-page spread in landscape mode OR - Print a two-page spread but cut apart pages to show 1 page at a time.

“Picture This Phrasal Verbs Figurative Language for Beginning Readers” (Teal workbook)
$ 20
This workbook is designed for beginning readers who are
Deaf or Hard of Hearing. It provides the reader with opportunities to consider
the meaning of the first type of figurative language- the "phra
...
sal
verb". Phrasal verbs (for example, eat out, dress up, take
after, look out, etc.) can be very confusing for young readers because
they are not the sum of the word meanings as separate entities. For example
"get dressed" does not mean someone will literally obtain (get) a
dress. Rather the phrase means "to put clothes on". In this workbook
students practice this skill with 60 frequently used phrasal verbs. They will
read 2-3 highly contextualized sentences that are written with beginning
vocabulary. Students then discuss the meaning of the target phrasal verb. They
will identify the ASL sign handshape used to produce the phrasal verb (for
example, GET-DRESS uses the 5 handshapes). They cut out the 5 handshape and
paste it in a box on the worksheet. Finally, students will illustrate the
correct meaning of the target phrasal verb as used in the sentences. A pre and
posttest scoring grid is included for progress monitoring.
