• Deaf Characters in Adolescent Literature: 195 (and counting) Adolescent Literature Books with Deaf Characters

  I hope this Blog assists teachers in recommending books with characters with whom our students can relate. I also hope this Blog assists in recommending books with multiple realities of the D/deaf human experience.
  While my primary focus is adolescent and Young Adult chapter books, I will add information about children's literature and adult 'cross-over' texts from time to time.
  Enjoy,
  Sharon Pajka-West, Ph.D.
