Summary:

At a time when advancements in technology continue to provide increasingly improved access to sound and spoken language, this book pulls together the dominant research from the ""hearing world"" and applies it to the world of the deaf and hard of hearing. The author argues that helping a child learn to listen and speak is the best way to ensure he or she will learn to read and write.
