Fairview Learning 

The Fairview Learning reading program, designed specifically for students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, reflects years of collaboration among educators of the deaf and utilizes best practices. Fairview's unique research based program that provides individuals the literacy tools to construct mental, linguistic frameworks. These frameworks, specific to each user, allow for access to and increasing fluency in English and ASL, and ease the movement between the two languages. The program can be seamlessly integrated into any existing reading program, and is both user-friendly and fun.

AGENDA

What is Fairview Learning? Click HERE to find out!

Faiview Learning is designed as a Tier 3 intervention for students who are D/HH in elementary through high school classrooms. The program has been research proven and continues to be improved and refined upon in their model clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has been implemented with students who use Listening and Spoken Language and American Sign Language. It also meets guidelines for English language learners. The program research shows that after nine months of intervention, students improve their reading by 1.3-1.5 years worth of growth. Daily progress monitoring is integrated in the instruction.
