A Day at the Beach is a concept book. Its is an ideal tool to
supplement and reinforce concepts associated with experiencing a
visit to the beach. The pictures and text should be a starting
point to begin a dialogue with children. This book may foster
children to interpret pictures, helping to connect meaning of text
through illustrations. The repetition of text creates familiarity
for the child. Adults may utilize this to exchange a ritualized
dialogue to engage children through a scaffolding dialogue to gain
knowledge and concepts unique to A Day at the Beach. This book has
been adapted for Hearing Impaired children. Each vocabulary word is
illustrated by a picture and the ASL sign. To view the sign/finger
spell, just click on the image. The pictures and the ASL signs and
fingerspells provide a visual for the students who are learning to
read and sign the words. BY: Latasha Arnold, Susan Dowling, Matthew
