Abstract

Purpose: Children with hearing loss (HL) experience challenges in sound-related knowledge and techniques for manipulating sounds, which can affect their reading fluency. This study aims to use the unique phonetic, semantic, and visual integration of Chinese characters to access phonological information through visual representation, thereby helping Chinese-speaking children with HL improve their reading fluency.

Method: Forty-eight children with HL participated in the study and were divided into two groups. The experimental group received specialized training in Chinese phonetic radicals, while the control group did not. The changes in reading fluency between the pretest and posttest were compared by statistical analysis between the two groups.

Results: The control group, which did not receive the specialized training in Chinese phonetic radicals, showed no significant difference in reading fluency between the pretest and posttest. In contrast, the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in reading fluency in the posttest after receiving the specialized training.

Conclusion: Utilizing the unique phonetic, semantic, and visual integration of Chinese characters, specialized training in Chinese phonetic radicals can significantly enhance the reading fluency of Chinese-speaking children with HL.

汉语语音偏旁教学提高失聪汉语儿童阅读流畅性。

目的：听力损失儿童在与声音相关的知识和操作声音的技巧方面面临挑战，这可能会影响他们的阅读流畅性。本研究旨在利用汉字独特的语音、语义和视觉整合，通过视觉表征获取语音信息，从而帮助汉语儿童提高阅读流畅性。方法：48例HL患儿分为两组。实验组接受了汉语拼音的专门训练，而对照组没有。通过统计分析比较两组学生阅读流畅性测试前后的变化。结果：未接受汉语语音偏旁专门训练的对照组在测试前和测试后的阅读流畅性无显著差异。实验组学生在接受专项训练后的阅读流畅性有显著提高。结论：利用汉字独特的语音、语义和视觉整合，对汉语语音偏旁进行特殊训练可以显著提高汉语儿童的阅读流畅性。

期刊介绍： Mission: LSHSS publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles pertaining to the practice of audiology and speech-language pathology in the schools, focusing on children and adolescents. The journal is an international outlet for clinical research and is designed to promote development and analysis of approaches concerning the delivery of services to the school-aged population. LSHSS seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of audiology and speech-language pathology as practiced in schools, including aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; childhood apraxia of speech; classroom acoustics; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; fluency disorders; hearing-assistive technology; language disorders; literacy disorders including reading, writing, and spelling; motor speech disorders; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; voice disorders.
