Abstract

PurposeBecause children with hearing loss experience difficulty in developing word decoding and spelling skills, effective phonological awareness instruction for this population is vital. Children with hearing loss are often delayed in their development of phonological awareness compared to peers with normal hearing; however, the developmental progression appears to be the same for both groups of children. Some modifications to typical phonological awareness instruction are warranted for this population.ConclusionThis article synthesizes recent research on phonological awareness instruction for children with hearing loss from several research groups into 6 big ideas that have led to impressive gains in phonological awareness skills for this population.
