Moses, Annie M.; Golos, Debbie B.; Bennett, Colleen M. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2015
Early childhood educators need access to research-based practices and materials to help all children learn to read. Some theorists have suggested that individuals learn to read through "dual coding" (i.e., a verbal code and a nonverbal code) and may benefit from more than one route to literacy (e.g., dual coding theory). Although deaf…
