This article focuses on the development of educational materials to support the bilingual literacy of deaf/hard of hearing children in Greece. Early exposure to Greek Sign Language (GSL) fosters the steady growth of linguistic skills and facilitates the acquisition of sign language literacy. The knowledge of GSL is also essential for the development of deaf and hard of hearing children’s literacy skills on the written language of the larger hearing community. Innovative teaching practices and materials for the teaching of GSL as a first language are presented, including a grammar teaching program for preschool to fourth grade students, based on the National Curriculum of GSL. In addition, materials developed to support hearing families of deaf/hard of hearing children in learning signed languages (SLs) are described, incorporating basic vocabulary and communicative activities. All the presented materials emanate from action research conducted in schools for the Deaf. They are user-friendly, multimedia-based open educational resources and are versatile enough to be modified for various SLs.
