Özet

This longitudinal case study aimed to investigate the development of emergent literacy skills of a child with hearing loss was carried out in a research and application centre which provides full-time day education using an auditory-oral approach for children with hearing loss. The study focuses on a child with profound hearing loss who started kindergarten education at the age of 52 months. The data was collected in the second and third grade of kindergarten and the first term of primary first grade. Results indicate that group and individual experiences, based on the Whole Language Approach, support the development of code-related and oral language skills and that the child benefited from intense and systematic application of drills in accordance with his individual needs.
