| Summary: | This study sought to find out the effects of reading aloud on
the utterances
of e
arly
s
et
of
w
ords
in the
re
habilitation of a hearing
-
impaired boy with cochlear implant. The
subject in the study is a hearing impaired boy who h
ears with a sensory hearing aid
.
C
ochlear implantation was done one and half years ago. T
he study uses the reading
aloud treatment (R.A.T) to provide spoken language to the subject. The
reading
materials contain four categories of words, namely, naming
things and people; actions
and events; describing or modifying things and personal or socia
l words.
In the process of the
re
habilitation, the reading materials were read to the subject.
Then the subject read aloud by repeating what is been read. It is one of the strategies
that can be used to support language development in all children.
T
he findings show that there is a great increase in the number of words uttered and
imitated by the subject.
The words were from the nominal category of words where
the types of words were generally
nouns. T
he subject was able to develop further to
use th
e words in the correct contexts. |
