Welcome to ASL RAPP

Welcome to ASL RAPP. Our goal is to make learning ASL fun and inviting for families like you to support their Deaf child’s ASL and English language learning. Our library and tools provide rich opportunities for both languages to be enjoyed and played with against the backdrop of a story.

Our books are designed to be a shared experience for children and their families or caregivers. For each book you will find tips for parents as well as vocabulary and activity sheets for the child. Make sure to check them out along with the book.

You will also find links to resources on our site to help you navigate other supports that can help you in your journey.

We hope that you have as much fun using this language learning resource as we have had creating it.

Best,

Kim and the ALSO ASL RAPP team

Something From Nothing

Joseph’s grandfather made him a beautiful blanket when he was a baby, but now it’s frazzled and worn, and Joseph’s mother says it is time to throw it out. Joseph doesn’t want to part with his special blanket, and he’s sure that his grandfather can fix it. Sure enough, Grandfather miraculously alters the blanket into useful items again and again. But when Joseph loses the final item, even Grandfather can’t make something from nothing. But maybe Joseph can?
