Text Comprehension in Hearing Impaired Children in Grade 3 and Grade 6.

Boisclair, Andree; Sirois, Pauline

CAEDHH Journal/La Revue ACESM, v22 n2-3 p71-92 1996

Severity of hearing loss predicted poor reading comprehension scores for children with reading impairments in Grade 3 (N=67) and Grade 6 (N=36) in a study done in five areas of Quebec (Canada). Good scores of a few Grade 6 students with severe hearing loss indicated that these students can keep up if wide gaps do not exist at the outset of schooling. (DB)
