Teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents recognize the importance of providing deaf and hard of hearing children with full access to the languages around them. Without full access, reading and academic achievement remain far below intellectual capabilities. This article describes the Continuum of Reading Activities, which provides strategies that allow the advancement of students' language development and address core literacy standards through four steps. When these steps are followed sequentially, they provide a gradual release of the teacher's involvement as students read with increasing independence. This process utilizes peer-to-peer and student-to-teacher interactions that promote full language fluency across all communication modalities and language preferences while strengthening and refining students' individual language, reading, and cognitive skills.
