Molded of strong plastic, it consists of a flat base, a backrest, and two adjustable pegs, which prevent pages from flipping yet allow for easy page turning.

PLAY Tip
Talking about hearing impairment
Give more, not different.
If a child has a hearing impairment, we sometimes slip in to an exaggerated communications mode. We must resist! Speak normally, as exaggerated lip movements are difficult to read. Adult's should instead provide visual cues that accompanies normal speech, without distorting the message with uncommon motions.
