Achievements test data was analyzed for seven hearing-impaired children who were trained by our special written language-auditory method (Kanazawa Method) as compared with those who underwent the ordinary training system (aural-oral method) . The results indicate : 1) Assessment of our children's language comprehension, administered aurally, was higher than for those trained by the ordinary method. 2) The speech intelligibility score in our children was not lower than with those trained by the usual method. 3) our children's reading age level was about 2 years older than their chronological age. 4) There was a strong correlation between results of infantile reading achievement test administered at 5 years, 6 months and elementary school reading tests at 6 years, 2 months (r=0.99) . These results suggest that written language instruction at an early age helps hearing-impaired preschoolers acquire language.
