VL2 Storybook Application

Great stories invite children into our vast world, encouraging new ways to imagine and then leading them down the path to reading and learning. With our storybook application, children can watch the story in ASL or start reading it in English. At any point throughout the story in English, children can tap the screen to watch that part of the story in ASL. Children can also touch specific English words to see them fingerspelled as well as being signed in ASL. Several major research studies on bilingualism and visual learning show that learning two languages leads to greater literacy skills in both languages, and the younger, the better.
