Print Knowledge of Preschool Children with Hearing Loss
Werfel, Krystal L.; Lund, Emily; Schuele, C. Melanie
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v36 n2 p107-111 Feb 2015
Measures of print knowledge were compared across preschoolers with hearing loss and normal hearing. Alphabet knowledge did not differ between groups, but preschoolers with hearing loss performed lower on measures of print concepts and concepts of written words than preschoolers with normal hearing. Further study is needed in this area.
