This research reports the effects of using closed-captioned television as a medium for reading instruction with deaf students. Teachers collected data during 13 to 16 reading lessons with intermediate-aged below-average readers. The data indicate improvement in sight vocabulary retention, student motivation, and reading comprehension. Teachers indicated overall student satisfaction with the use of closed-captioned television compared to regular reading instruction.
