Abstract

Both deaf and hearing readers use morphological awareness skills to decode and comprehend printed English. Deaf readers, for whom phonological awareness is a relative weakness while orthographic sensitivity is a strength, may have a different relationship with morphology than similarly skilled hearing readers. This study investigated the impact of various reading sub-skills-spelling, vocabulary size, morphological awareness, and phonological awareness-on reading comprehension for deaf and hearing adult readers. Morphological awareness had a stronger relationship with reading comprehension for deaf than hearing readers, particularly for deaf readers with advanced morphological skills. Morphology and vocabulary were also more strongly related for the deaf group, indicating that deaf readers leverage morphology to expand their word knowledge. Overall, the findings highlight the unique and significant role of morphological awareness in the skilled deaf reader's "toolbox" and underscore the importance of morphological instruction in supporting the reading development of deaf individuals.

聋人及健全成人的词形意识及阅读技巧。

聋人和听力正常的读者都使用词形意识技能来解码和理解印刷英语。聋人读者的语音意识是一个相对的弱点，而正字法的敏感性是一种优势，与同样熟练的听力读者相比，他们与词法的关系可能不同。本研究探讨了不同阅读子技能（拼写、词汇量、形态意识和语音意识）对聋人和听力健全成人读者阅读理解的影响。形态学意识对聋人阅读理解的影响强于听力正常的聋人，尤其是形态学水平较高的聋人。在聋人群体中，词法和词汇的相关性也更强，这表明聋人读者利用词法来扩展他们的词汇知识。总体而言，研究结果突出了形态意识在熟练聋人阅读“工具箱”中的独特和重要作用，并强调了形态教学在支持聋人阅读发展中的重要性。
