The study focuses on early literacy practices for children with hearing loss and their families through online support. The research aim is to explore the early literacy practices of three families and their children with hearing loss. It is designed as an action research using criterion sampling. The data was gathered through various methods, including video observations, interviews, documents, and a research diary. This interactive nature of the program facilitates that families of children with hearing loss are not just passive recipients but active participants in their children's early literacy development. The research highlighted families' needs and enriched their early literacy experiences, leading to inspiring shifts in how they view and engage with literacy. The perspectives of the families on early literacy have changed. The early literacy experiences and strategies of families and children were diversified.
