RISE (Reading Involves Shared Experience) ebooks are produced by a collaboration of students at Gallaudet University and Swarthmore College, under the guidance of Prof. Gene Mirus and Prof. Donna Jo Napoli. They are designed to delight deaf children and the adults who share the books with them, whether those adults be comfortable signers or not. The goal is to promote shared reading, an experience that enhances developing literacy skills.
Other books in the series:
Humpty Dumpty
Jemima Puddleduck
The Little Engine that Could
The Night Before Christmas
Rocky the Cat Who Barks (Fiji Sign Language version)
Rocky the Cat Who Barks (American Sign Language version)
