Deaf children can make rhymes: evidence from a simple rhyme task
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous research has been equivocal about whether deaf children can develop rhyme awareness. The current experiment investigates the rhyme skills of deaf children (mean age 11 years). Deaf children’s ability to make rhyme judgements was above chance, but poorer than that of their reading matched hearing controls. We conclude that deaf children do have a degree of rhyme awareness. We also discuss how deaf children might have developed rhyme awareness given their impoverished auditory and language environment.

In two experiments, we tested whether rhyme, when used to help children anticipate new words would make those words easier to learn. Two- to 4-year-old children heard rhyming stanzas naming novel mo...

The sources of knowledge that individuals use to make similarity judgments between words are thought to tap underlying phonological representations. We examined the effects of perceptual similarity between stimuli on deaf children's ability to make judgments about the phonological similarity between words at 3 levels of linguistic structure (syllable, rhyme, and phoneme). Manipulation of stimul...

Phonological awareness is an important precursor in learning to read. This awareness of phonemes fosters a child’s ability to hear and blend sounds, encode and decode words, and to spell phonetically. This quantitative study assessed pre-K children’s existing Euro-American nursery rhyme knowledge and phonological awareness literacy, provided phonological awareness training with an experimental ...
