The Integrated Reading Project (IRP): The Integrated Reading Project (IRP) is designed to help families learn how to read and enjoy books with their children who are deaf and hard of hearing. It is never too early to begin to develop a love of books, and lay the foundation for future success in reading and writing. As parents read to their children, language learning is enhanced and communication is fostered. Reading together also provides a wonderful opportunity for bonding! Key Points of the Integrated Reading Project: The Integrated Reading Project is designed for families who have chosen a simultaneous communication approach (signing and voicing at the same time). Sign is taught using conceptually accurate signs in English word order. For more, see:  http://www.csdb.org/chip/m_earlylit_ini.html
