In Argentina more than 80 % of deaf people are still functionally illiterate. They are considered 'disabled' and for the most part excluded by society. Learning World visits Canales, a Civil Association which promotes reading for deaf children with videobooks.

The videobooks are produced by a team of deaf and hearing people and guarantee easy access through a presenter. They use new technologies as a tool to reach deaf children and aim at giving children access to their second language, Spanish.
