One of the basic prerequisites for acquiring reading and writing is phonological awareness. A child with hearing impairment does not correctly identify speech sounds, reproduces errors in reading, and subsequently in writing. The development of auditory perception and phonological awareness are essential for the complete development of the child. The purpose of this research was to promote the use of digital educational resources, to develop skills in the phonological process and to implement play activities that motivate the child to learn. It is intended to answer the research question: “Can digital educational resources be a facilitator of the promotion of auditory perception and phonological awareness in a hearing impaired child?”. After the theoretical framework, an intervention plan was drawn up and through the digital educational resources: “Cochleando”, “Comunikit: Rhymes and Initial Sounds” and the Sign Language Dictionary “Spread the Sign”, we conclude that they are an asset to development of phonological awareness in the teaching-learning process.
