Deaf Children’s Experience in Emergent Literacy

Abstract

The major components of emergent literacy are discussed such as phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, and phonics with a definition of emergent literacy. The rest of the paper reviews some studies that discuss emergent literacy for profoundly or severe hearing loss deaf children. The result explores how deaf children can experience emergent literacy in a qualitatively similar way as hearing children but quantitatively it is different.
