Reading in Deaf students
• Seminal Study by Conrad in 1979• Half of deaf school leavers leave school at 16
years with a reading age of 7 years (functionally illiterate)
• Less than 15% had a functional reading age (11 – 12 years)
• None had an age appropriate reading score• Lichtenstein 1998 repeated these results

• Higher incidence of mental health problems• Development of identity usually transitions in
secondary school as children develop a bi-cultural identity: deaf community and hearing community

What can I do to support deaf students?
• Planning in advance• Speak to the student not the staff supporting• Do not ask deaf children to copy or read large
amounts of text• Subtitle all clips including ‘You tube’, if you
give us notice we will try to help• Key words

What the students say…….
• There are a lot of new words on my course.• Sometimes I know the word and can’t remember the sign.• Sometimes the word is signed to me but when I see the word
written down I can’t recognise it.• What helps you learn new words?• I will write down about 12 words. I like a picture of the sign
next to the word. I can sit and read and sign to myself, maybe each one five times and then I need to repeat this every day for two weeks and then in the end maybe I am ready to learn some more words.

Challenges to word learning
• May recognise the word but not have a solid meaning (semantic representation) of it
• Knows lots of empty words
• Using context to guess• Problem of visually similar
words• Difficulty of words whose
signs have more than one meaning
• May have poor phonological representations
• May be poor lip readers
![Page 23: Deaf awareness minibites](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062615/54827ad6b4af9f3f608b4588/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The sign for all of these words is the same: context is used to understand
• probable• possible• probability• possibility• potential• can • could

Remember
• The students are individuals. These are broad explanations
• Keep expectations high but achievable
