"Holding Stories in the Palm of Your Hand" is a literacy curriculum designed to help Deaf students improve reading comprehension and retelling skills. Using the Story Grammar Marker, a hands-on tool, students learn to visualize the structure of a story.
Here is Ms. Megan working with her students after reading "The Monster at the End of This Book." 📖 The students loved connecting the story to the visual markers!
