Updated 2/2/21
This ASL Stories Directory makes it easy for you to find hundreds of free videos of ASL retellings of your child’s favorite books. Research shows that reading and signing stories together helps promote essential literacy skills for ALL children: deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing. Use the ASL Stories Directory to quickly find stories by your child’s age or by the book’s title. Make the most of signing and reading with your child! Get useful tips here.
Check this page again soon! We are adding more signed stories to the ASL Stories Directory each week. If you have a favorite video that’s not listed here, or if you want to add your own video of you and your child signing one of your favorite books, please share it with Cheri at cheri@deafchildren.org. Thank you.
