The Effectiveness of the Graphic Representation of Signs in Developing Word Identification Skills for Hearing Impaired Beginning Readers.
Stoefen-Fisher, Jill M.; And Others
Journal of Special Education, v23 n2 p151-67 Sum 1989
Twenty prelingually deaf students, aged six-eight, were able to identify words better when presented in a print-plus-graphic-sign condition compared to a print-only condition. The initial use of the graphic representation of signs with the printed words also facilitated the children's immediate retention when reading the printed word only. (Author/JDD)
