Abstract

Reading is a complex and multifaceted skill, the development of which is the cornerstone of education. Many deaf children show delays in reading achievement compared to their hearing peers. Despite recent advances in technology that might be expected to support deaf children’s literacy development, overall reading levels do not appear to have made commensurate improvement. This chapter explores this issue by examining studies that try to account for the huge individual differences observed in deaf children and adolescents’ reading skills. The roles of vocabulary and phonological skills in reading ability are discussed with reference to theoretical models of reading development. Implications for teachers and practitioners are explored.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
