ABSTRACT

This study was to develope a early literacy improvement program and investigate the effects of the program on early literacy skills for children with hearing impairment. 20 children with Cochlear Implants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental group and control group. They were taught for 10 session. Experimental group received early literacy instruction, and control group received only storybook reading activities. We analyzed data using ANCOVA, MANCOVA, and discriminant analysis. As a result, this early literacy instruction group was significantly performed better than control group on word reading, word writing, letter knowledge and phonological awareness. The most discriminant variable between early literacy instruction group and control group was word writing, followed by word reading, phonological awareness, letter knowledge. Therefore, these results indicate that early literacy program for children with CI should include phonological awareness with phoneme-grapheme correspondence, aural and visual teaching strategies, and interesting phonics storybook.
