Finnegan, Margaret; Goodhard, Wendy – Teaching English to Deaf and Second-Language Students, 1987
Observation of the development of storytelling skills of seven- and eight-year-old deaf children (N=9) found that subjects who "drafted" their stories in sign language and used role-playing before writing them down produced clearer and more descriptive writing.
