This exercise highlights three articles. First, a qualitative research study with multiple
high school student participants with deafness/hearing loss examining factors that
promoted versus challenged their access to classroom communication and participation
is included. The next article is a preliminary study exploring that children with reading

skills. Finally, the third article looks at shared book reading and its association with
language growth aspects for children who are deaf and hard of hearing over a 4-week
training program related to caregiver knowledge of emergent literacy features
