Description | Learning to read is arguably a child's most important academic achievement, comprising a large portion of instruction in the early school years and contributing throughout the subsequent academic journey. It is of significant concern, therefore, that children with hearing loss typically underachieve in reading. In this workshop, organised by the Centre for Language Sciences, we will address two related issues concerning the development of reading skills in children and adolescents with hearing loss.
To address these issues, the workshop brings together researchers who work in diverse settings, both nationally and internationally, to gain a better understanding of reading development and instruction in children and adolescents with hearing loss. Submissions are welcome on all research exploring these reading-related issues in children or adolescents who communicate using oral language or sign. The workshop will include keynote addresses and invited talks by experts in the fields of psycholinguistics, developmental psychology, and audiology. Invited speakers
