Salehomoum, Maryam – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
This study examined the effect of explicit instruction of reading comprehension strategies, such as identification of unknown vocabulary and relating text to background knowledge, on four deaf and hard of hearing students' use of strategies and reading comprehension performance pre- and post-intervention. Explicit instruction of strategies…

Morphological Awareness and DHH Students' Reading-Related Abilities: A Meta-Analysis of Correlations
Zhang, Dongbo; Ke, Sihui; Anglin-Jaffe, Hannah; Yang, Junhui – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
This article presents the first meta-analysis on correlations of morphological awareness (MA) with reading-related abilities in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students (k = 14, N = 556). The results showed high mean correlations of MA with all three reading-related abilities: rs = 0.610, 0.712, and 0.669 (all ps < 0.001), respectively, for word…

Hoffmeister, Robert; Henner, Jon; Caldwell-Harris, Catherine; Novogrodsky, Rama – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2022
The current study contributes empirical data to our understanding of how knowledge of American Sign Language (ASL) syntax aids reading print English for deaf children who are bilingual and bimodal in ASL and English print. The first analysis, a conceptual replication of Hoffmeister (2000), showed that performance on the American Sign Language…

Zhao, Ying; Wu, Xinchun; Sun, Peng; Chen, Hongjun – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students face great challenges in becoming proficient readers. Vocabulary knowledge is consistently considered to be an important factor affecting DHH students' reading ability. However, the mechanism that underlies the relationship between vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension in DHH students remains…

Wauters, Loes; van Gelder, Hille; Tijsseling, Corrie – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
The present study investigated the relative contribution of the two components in the simple view of reading to the reading comprehension skills of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) adults in the Netherlands. Eighty DHH adults, aged between 30 and 80 years old, were tested on word reading, reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.…

Deng, Qinli; Tong, Shelley Xiuli – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
This study examined the reading comprehension profiles, and the related linguistic and cognitive skills, of 146 Chinese students in Grades 3-9 who are deaf or hard of hearing (d/Dhh). Employing a rigorous regression approach, the current study identified 19 unexpected poor comprehenders, 24 expected average comprehenders, and 16 unexpected good…

Wang, Yingying; Sibaii, Fatima; Lee, Kejin; Gill, Makayla J.; Hatch, Jonathan L. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
This meta-analysis study aims to quantify the group differences in reading skills between children with cochlear implants and their hearing peers and between children with cochlear implants and children with hearing aids (aged between 3 and 18 years old). Of the 5,642 articles screened, 47 articles met predetermined inclusion criteria (published…

Crume, Peter K.; Lederberg, Amy; Schick, Brenda – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
Bilingual education programs for deaf children have long asserted that American Sign Language (ASL) is a better language of instruction English-like signing because ASL is a natural language. However, English-like signing may be a useful bridge to reading English. In the present study, we tested 32 deaf children between third and sixth grade to…

Alqraini, Faisl M.; Paul, Peter V. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2020
Building vocabulary knowledge, especially breadth and depth of word meanings, is a crucial step in assisting students to read and comprehend print independently. A large body of research has documented the low reading achievement levels of a number of Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students. The goal of the present study was to examine the effects…

Cannon, Joanna E.; Hubley, Anita M.; O'Loughlin, Julia I.; Phelan, Lauren; Norman, Nancy; Finley, Alayna – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a technology-based intervention (LanguageLinks: Syntax Assessment and Intervention®; Laureate Learning Systems, Inc., 2013) to improve reading comprehension for d/Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) elementary students. The intervention was a self-paced, interactive program designed to…

Antia, Shirin D.; Lederberg, Amy R.; Easterbrooks, Susan; Schick, Brenda; Branum-Martin, Lee; Connor, Carol M.; Webb, Mi-Young – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2020
We examined the language and reading progress of 336 young DHH children in kindergarten, first and second grades. Trained assessors tested children's language, reading, and spoken and fingerspelled phonological awareness in the fall and spring of the school year. Children were divided into groups based on their auditory access and classroom…

Figueroa, Mario; Darbra, Sònia; Silvestre, Núria – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2020
Previous research has shown a possible link between reading comprehension and theory of mind (ToM), but these findings are unclear in adolescents with cochlear implants (CI). In the present study, reading comprehension and ToM were assessed in adolescents with CI and the relation between both skills was also studied. Two sessions were performed on…

Li, Degao; Wang, Shaai; Zhang, Fan; Zhu, Li; Wang, Tao; Wang, Xiaolu – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2019
Irony comprehension can be a kind of challenge to those who are relatively less skillful in reading. To examine how DHH college students (DCSs) were different from hearing college students (HCSs) in the reading of ironic discourses, we conducted two experiments in the self-paced reading task. In Experiment 1, the statement was either literally…

Mayer, Connie; Trezek, Beverly J. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2018
The purpose of this paper is to examine the available peer-reviewed research regarding literacy achievement in deaf children with cochlear implants. A related goal is to identify gaps in the empirical literature and suggest directions for future research. Included in this review are studies that exclusively report reading and writing outcomes for…

Chan, Yi-Chih; Yang, You-Jhen – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2018
This study aims to explore early reading comprehension in Chinese-speaking children with hearing loss (HL) by examining character recognition and linguistic comprehension. Twenty-five children with HL received three measures relevant to character reading: phonological awareness (PA), morphological awareness (MA), and character recognition; two…
