Activities
Book Reviews
In the past, the National Deaf Children's Society provided EDCS with a small grant, which we used to purchase books containing a deaf character that were then sent to local children and schools.
We received some positive feedback from both parents and schools โ so we have asked for feedback from children on the books they received.
We would like to create a resource to share that contains a list of books with deaf characters that also includes reviews or comments from the children so that other children can find a book they might be interested in.
Some examples of the reviews we received are below. If your child would like to review a book they have read that includes a Deaf character, linked below are two templates that you can download and fill out โ or you can keep it simple and just provide a short comment like:
โข What was the book about?
โข Who are the Characters?
โข What was your favourite part of the Story?
โข Why do you think itโs important to have deaf characters in books?
We also welcome videos in BSL to share!
Ben H - The Quest for the Cockle Implant
Jess F - Proud to be Deaf
