This paper examines the factors which determine reading skills of deaf children. Two notions are considered: the reciprocal relationship existing between linguistic ability and reading comprehension; and the notion that phonology is essential in the process of reading acquisition. The success in the development of literacy is discussed in relation with the linguistic competence of deaf youngsters, developed via oral o sign language. The access the phonology in the absence of audition, exploiting the phonological information provide by lip-reading, is examined. In this context the role of Cued-Speech, a manual systems aimed at eliminating lip-reading ambiguity is considered. Similarly the role of Cochlear Implants, which also improve speech perception, are discussed in relation with readied acquisition.
