8 Year old Deaf Storyteller in Video
Written by Bug
Should Deaf children be taught American Sign Language? Would you like to communicate with your child before they can talk? Do you want to increase your child’s reading and language abilities? Learning to read and write English takes years, much patience and practice for young children. But they effortlessly use their hands for comfort, communication and acquiring information from birth. Parents should introduce Deaf children to language as early as possible. The earlier any child is exposed to and begins to acquire language. Research suggests that the first six months are the most crucial to a child’s development of language skills.
See the video of 8 year old Illionis Deaf girl (see below), she learned to sign at 10 months old. Her name is Jennida. She is in 2nd grade. Her family is Deaf too. She learned about ASL poetry this year. She is very eager to add more and more. Her ASL expression is getting bigger and more expertly. Her favorite book is “The Rough-Face girl” by David Shannon.. Her favorite TV channel is animal planet. Jennida would like to share her classifier ABC story for you to enjoy.

Ron,
Maybe it’s an old news for you. I doubt that you know more about Jennida’s interests, favorite book, etc until today. Not everyone has a chance to see her video. Something old is new again.

That’s so cute. Wish you see my dad’s face. He’s hearing and had me growing up in hearing world and made me take speech classes during my early childhood. He met my old friend who happen have 2 deaf children age 3 and 5 yrs old. They sign with their tiny hands, communicating with me and friends. My father’s stare and awe…said they are so tiny and sign beautiful. He never understood till I gave him Deaf’s World’s poem. It inspired him. Not many people feel that way. Need more educate and more spread words of ASL!

Hi Everyone…
I support the idea of teaching deaf babies the signs for words such as:
“eat”, “hungry”, “sleep”, etc., before they are able to comprehend simple sentences at age 1. Here’s why. I had a deaf student named Lori who is a product of a deaf home. Her mother read stories to her when Lori was 4 months old. At high school Lori was mainstreamed in the HONORS Program and graduated 4th in class. She is a summa cum laude graduate of Gallaudet University. Her goal is to obtain her Ph.D. degree in Psychology.
Aww, she’s clever girl and awesome with A to Z sign language. She can act herself when she grows up…I am looking forward to see her new video again. Congrat!!!
So darling girl! I love to watch the deaf expression on her face. She did a great job!
AWWWWW…
She is adorable I also have a deaf son, I am hearing but my parents are deaf and my husband is also and now our son Jared. He is VERY ASL himself and he is 6 yrs old. She did a great job i want to give a pat on the back to the parents who did such a WONDERFUL job teaching your child the language. She did a very good job!!! u should make new videos of her telling stories and post them. My son jared was VERY fascinated 😉
waqas , salam , how are you >?????????????????????????
