Deafness, Development and Literacy

Originally published in 1986. This book is concerned with the hearing-impaired child's strategies for reading, spelling and writing and explores how teachers can give the most effective help, what the impact of a teaching programme is likely to be, and how to evaluate what the child has learnt.
