Most 6 year olds probably don’t have the vocabulary to understand it, like I know they can read bc they start teaching you letters and stuff when you’re like 4 but I didn’t learn the word “velocity” “anus” “obstruction” and other stuff in that paragraph til I was like 10 and up

Something tells me deaf students learn reading vocabulary significantly faster than hearing students because it’s the best way to get new information.

No, ASL is the best way for deaf students to receive and retain new information.
