A Study of the Letter, Word and Story Reading Abilities of Forty-Five Young Deaf Residential Children: A Longitudinal Perspective
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study investigated the extent to which young, deaf children understand printed letters, words and stories before and during beginning reading instruction and how their knowledge changed during a full school year. A prereading model was proposed which hypothesized that reading acquisition is initiated when deaf children begin to match meaningful manual language with printed words. Prereading instruction based on the proposed model was constructed and administered to deaf children in kindergarten and the first grade.
