Written language is very important as most important commun ication takes place in it. eg forms,letters and computers. It is also the language of books and the internet. First of all the baby must be taught sign language to do this you may require the Dictionary of British Sign Language / English, compiled for the British Deaf Association, first published in 1992 by Faber and Faber Limited, Bloomsbury House, 74-77 Great Russell Street, London WCIB 3DA, preferably from birth, then single words of reading, then double words, then short sentences, then books should be made up about the child, a source for this is “Teach Your Baby to Read, the Gentle Revolution” by Glen Doman and Janet Doman by Square One publishers, 115 Herricks Road, Garden City Park, NY 11040 in the USA, for beginning reading. They teach hearing children to read (toddlers). Then the parents must communicate using printing in a conversational style using a computer to project the words large on the smooth internal white walls of the parents home. An overhead projector could also be used for this. Finally from age five onwards the parent can write notes in normal size printing as the child’s eyes will be able to handle normal size print by then. This will continue through childhood and adult life.

Sign language will provide a means for the parents and child to communicate before reading is started, it will also provide a means to communicate outdoors before age five and when it is raining. It also enables the parent most importantly to tell the child what a word is in the early stages of reading. Children learn language most well when they are small and we are teaching language as well as reading. It also makes sense to use a child’s undamaged ability. Reading and writing is visual english and everything that can be expressed in speech can be expressed in reading and writing.

Reading should be started at two years old. You need a large quantity of white cardboard/posterboard cut into strips 6″ by 22″ (inches) or in metric 15.24cm by 55.88cm and a large broad felt tipped marker (red), print a single word for example mummy in letters 3″ tall, (7.62cm) the stroke should be half an inch wide (2.54cms) The pen is a nice bold colour to make the word easier to see and children like the colour red. There should be a border of half an inch round the word (2.54cm) to give space to hold the card. On the back of the card write the word so you can read it, the top left hand corner seems to be a good place. It is most important that you print and do not write as most reading in the world is of print and the child can learn to read handwriting later. On the cards only use non- capital letters (lower case letters) except for the first letter of names. This is because most printing is in non-capital letters (lower case letters). Follow the previous mentioned how to teach your baby to read reference book.

After the child is established reading short sentences, the next phase of the process begins. the child should be told that big boys read from the walls. The parent should print what he would say to the child, in phrases and sentences using a computer or overhead projector to project on to the smooth white interior walls of the parent’s home. If an overhead projector is used it will need to be a portable one to move from room to room of the parents home. It may be wise to start with single words to get the child used to reading from the walls. The parent should hold a conversation in print. This is because conversation is the normal way to learn language. The print should be red and 3″ high (7.62cm) and half an inch wide (2.54cm). If your computer does not produce precisely this size of print make it larger. If your computer does not do red use black, getting the child used to black first. As the child grows and becomes able to read smaller letters the print size should be gradually reduced in size and converted from red to black, until it is black and normal size at age five. The parent will then be able to write notes to the child throughout childhood and adult life. The child will develop a level of language ability similar to a hearing person. The weakness of this approach is the child will have no words for the outside world, this can be overcome by conversing about TV programmes especially nature programmes. The parent should install a TV with subtitles although due to the smallness of the print the child will not be able to read this until he is older. The child should have tasks to do about the home and the parent should communicate to the child about these in print and the child should be shown what to do. Punctuation is very important as many things are communicated by variations in the voice. For example the pitch of the voice goes up in the end word of a question.

If parent’s feel that it would benefit their child to learn how to lip read, they should first show the child the word in print and then say it. The parent should also show the child well used phrases such as can I help you?

As to schools the best type for good printed english would be a normal school with the teacher printing the lesson and asking questions in print.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
