TLDR
The literacy section begins by considering dimensions of literacy and the ways in which hearing impairment may influence them, and highlights key constructs that need to be addressed for a comprehensive understanding of literacy in these children.Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of past and current research regarding language and literacy development in children with mild to severe hearing impairment. A related goal is to identify gaps in the empirical literature and suggest future research directions. Included in the language development review are studies of semantics (vocabulary, novel word learning, and conceptual categories), morphology, and syntax. The literacy section begins by considering dimensions of literacy and the ways in which hearing impairment may influence them. It is followed by a discussion of existing evidence on reading and writing, and highlights key constructs that need to be addressed for a comprehensive understanding of literacy in these children.read more

TL;DR: Differences in health literacy level were consistently associated with increased hospitalizations, greater emergency care use, lower use of mammography, lower receipt of influenza vaccine, poorer ability to demonstrate taking medications appropriately, poorer able to interpret labels and health messages, and, among seniors, poorer overall health status and higher mortality.

Language and literacy development of deaf and hard-of-hearing children: successes and challenges.
TL;DR: The developmental trajectories of DHH children with hearing parents have improved with early identification and appropriate interventions, but the majority of children are still delayed compared with hearing children, and these D HH children show particular weaknesses in the development of grammar.

Language of Early- and Later-identified Children With Hearing Loss
TL;DR: Significantly better language development was associated with early identification of hearing loss and early intervention and the variable on which the two groups differed must be considered a potential explanation for the language advantage documented in the earlier-identified group.

Parental Involvement in the Development of Children’s Reading Skill: A Five-Year Longitudinal Study
Monique Sénéchal,Jo-Anne LeFevre +1 more
TL;DR: The findings of the final phase of a 5-year longitudinal study with 168 middle- and upper middle-class children showed that children's exposure to books was related to the development of vocabulary and listening comprehension skills, and that these language skills were directly related to children's reading in grade 3.

Development of Reading-Related Phonological Processing Abilities: New Evidence of Bidirectional Causality from a Latent Variable Longitudinal Study.
TL;DR: The authors found that young children's phonological processing abilities are well-described by five correlated latent abilities: phonological analysis, phonological synthesis, phonology coding in working memory, isolated naming, and serial naming.
