"This review demonstrates that the phonics-based instruction supplemented with Visual Phonics is effective for d/Dhh students to improve their phonological awareness, letter-sound correspondences, and phonological decoding skills regardless of their degree of hearing loss, amplification use, mode of communication, gender, and having an additional disability. However, mixed results were reported on students’ performance related to reading comprehension" (p. 8).
