If the answer is YES then you are encouraged to watch this recorded presentation on a new literacy website developed by the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness ( NCDB 2.0 ). The Literacy website, launched in January 2012, is designed to be user-friendly and provides strategies, examples and resources for increasing literacy learning opportunities for children at a variety of skill levels.
