Deaf children usually have great difficulty with English. A significant problem in teaching written English to the deaf is providing students with opportunities to use it for their own purposes: for communicating with friends or teachers. As soon as the hearing child learns to speak, English becomes a source of power and control. Deaf children miss this strong early motivation to learn English. We have been using a computer-based message system to provide written communication for students, teachers, and staff in a school for the deaf. Our initial experience suggests that this is an effective way to motivate deaf children to write. Further, it is providing a good research vehicle for studying the development of written language in deaf children.
