Interactive storybook reading is effective in enhancing deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children's emergent literacy skills. The current digital era gives parents more opportunities to read books with their child. From an early age on, interaction between parent and child during literacy activities is very important for the development of emergent literacy skills. The purpose of the present study was to explore the opportunities of eBooks on a tablet for interactive reading with young DHH children. Parent and child interactive behavior in reading print books was compared to eBooks in 18 parents and their 1- to 3-year-old DHH child. All parents followed an interactive reading program after which their interactive reading behaviors were observed while reading print books and eBooks with their child. Results mainly showed similar interactive reading behaviors in parents and children when reading print books or eBooks, except for a lower occurrence of pointing to pictures/objects in the parent behavior when reading the eBooks. These results give parents and professionals even more opportunities for interactive storybook reading with DHH children, and thus more opportunities to enhance their language and literacy skills. Tablets can be easily taken with you making eBooks accessible for interactive reading wherever you are.
互动式绘本阅读对于提高失聪及听力障碍（DHH）儿童的早期读写能力很有效。当前的数字时代为家长提供了更多与孩子一起读书的机会。从幼儿时期起，家长与孩子在读写活动中的互动对于早期读写能力的发展非常重要。本研究的目的是探索在平板电脑上使用电子书与DHH幼儿进行互动阅读的机会。将18位家长及其1至3岁的DHH孩子阅读纸质书时的亲子互动行为与阅读电子书时的行为进行了比较。所有家长都参加了一个互动阅读项目，之后观察他们与孩子阅读纸质书和电子书时的互动阅读行为。结果主要表明，家长和孩子在阅读纸质书或电子书时的互动阅读行为相似，只是在阅读电子书时，家长行为中指向图片/物体的情况较少。这些结果为家长和专业人士提供了更多与DHH儿童进行互动式绘本阅读的机会，从而有更多机会提高他们的语言和读写能力。平板电脑便于携带，无论你身在何处，都可以使用电子书进行互动阅读。
