Abstract

Children realize that reading and writing have meaning in spoken and written language development. Over time, they use the sounds in their mother tongue and the letters in their native language alphabet. Early literacy is a combination of verbal language, phonological awareness, alphabetic knowledge, print awareness, concepts related to writing, and the development of scribbles/writings that reflect the child's discovery. In this context, the scope and importance of early literacy and the development of literacy in children with hearing loss are conveyed. Then, the characteristics of the literacy environment, the nature of the experiences, and the views of the family on literacy are presented with examples from the researchers' case studies. Furthermore, an action research example illustrates the role of educator-family collaboration in supporting the early literacy development of children with hearing loss. This chapter presents suggestions to families and teachers to support emergent literacy in daily routines.
