Abstract

Summary The New Macmillan Reading Analysis (1985) was administered to 14 integrated hearing‐impaired children, with a mean hearing loss of 58.8 dB, and to 14 age‐matched hearing controls. Both groups read equally well in terms of accuracy, but the hearing had superior comprehension. The hearing‐impaired and the hearing controls were retarded in terms of the published norms. Their speech intelligibility was rated and compared with that in other studies. All of the hearing‐impaired were educated orally with the support of the Salford Education Service for the Hearing‐Impaired.
