The Adapted Dolch Word Lists
• Deaf children and hearing children
do not learn the Dolch words the same
way.
•To truly comprehend print, the student
must sign the Dolch words using ASL
concepts.
© Fairview Learning, 2002
“I made a present for you.”
“I made my bed.”
“I made money.”
“I made her happy.”
“My brother made me do that.”
© Fairview Learning, 2002
^ OUT 3
refers to place
refers to amount
emphatic out
The ^ (rooftop) alerts the learner
that the word has multiple meanings.
The 3 (number) tells the learner how
many meanings are present.

* go 5
Index fingers move out & down
5 to 0
Hand sweeps away
Index fingers roll away from body
fs
The * alerts the learner that the word can
be signed multiple ways, but all signs mean
the same. The number indicates the
number of signs presented.
© Fairview Learning, 2002
! Put
The ! alerts the learner that the handshape
usuallly stays the same, but the motion,
direction, and/or expression changes
depending on context.

The Bridge Lists
•
English phrases requiring American Sign
Language (ASL) translation for
understanding.
• Bridging - pointing out and emphasizing
Bridge phrases to deaf students.
• Bridging when reading allows deaf
students access to written English.

[just about]
almost
Just has 4 signs: recently, exactly, only, fair. About has 2 signs:
about and approximate.
No combination of these signs makes sense to the visual
linguistic system; therefore another sign, almost, is required and
indicated by brackets [ ].
© Fairview Learning, 2002
[right over there]
F off nose
Right has 3 signs: correct, right as in a trial, and right as in
turn right. Over has 5: over, over the top, finish, again and
again, and cross over the fence. There has 2 signs which mean
the same.
No combination of these signs makes sense to the visual
linguistic system; therefore another sign, F off the nose, is
required and indicated by brackets [ ].

Phonemic Awareness
•
Skilled deaf readers make use
of phonological information.
• All of us have our own
phonemic vocabularies, right or
wrong.
• All readers possess a basic code
to decode the printed word.

Why Phonemic Awareness and
Patterns Work
Seeing patterns in words takes advantage of
M space, especially in very young children.
• igh –1 space, not 3
• A 7-year-old child has 3 M spaces;
therefore, only 1 space is occupied by igh
and 2 are free for easier processing.

Tools for Reading
Adapted Dolch Words, Bridge
Lists, and Phonemic Awareness
provide the FOUNDATION for
reading print conceptually with
comprehension.
These tools make print materials accessible, relevant,
and fun.

Various texts are utilized in
trainings to demonstrate the
application of the Adapted
Dolch words, Bridge Lists,
and Phonemic Awareness.

[Put the lights out] when you
finish in the living room.
For example, “Put the lights out”
must be bridged to check for text
comprehension.

ASL Development
In trainings techniques are presented to develop student
ASL skills with student signing samples.
• Students sign personal stories to the ASL instructor.
• The ASL instructor retells the stories modeling proper
ASL.
• Students then sign their stories again, implementing
proper ASL structures.
• Students record and illustrate their stories to demonstrate
progress.
Example: Video Clip

Spontaneous Written English
In trainings techniques are presented to develop student
writing skills with student writing samples.
• During writing time, the student dictates and/or writes
spontaneous and personal short stories with their
teachers.
• These stories are translated into proper English.
• The student then copies and/or types the proper
English version and illustrates the stories.
• Language Experience Folders are available for
recording progress.
