A leitura na educação do surdo na Espanha ena Argentina

Abstract

This work analyses the educational policies related to reading practices in the deaf population in Spain and Argentina, in thelight of theoretical contributions linked to the reading processesand the difficulties of this population, whose registration was madeon specialized portals. Official regulations, and teaching proposals from both countries on the education of deaf persons in general, obtained from official bulletins and government pages and on written language practices were discussed. Categories such as bicultural bilingual education, oralism, supportive phonological awarenessand the use of cochlear implants were considered. The reading difficulties of deaf students are an important barrier to their participation and progress that hinders an inclusive educational responsein this group. The work presented here discusses the factors that condition the functional reading levels of deaf students: vocabulary, morphosyntax and phonological awareness.
