Abstract
Several researches indicates the level of the deaf readerdoes not exceed the fourth grade, which is a great problem because among other factors, there are structural differences between Mexican Sign Language (LSM) and Spanish. In order to assess the reading skills, involving 32 high school students with bilateral Deafness, between 17 and 32 years, diverging in years of use of LSM it was obtained. According to the theoretical model of Kantor, we conducted an evaluation with an own instrument, previously used, designed to Deaf readers that use LSM and Spanish. Reading and designation competition was assessed using sign language, identification of illustration, sign, grammatical and syntactical use. The results confirm that the sample does not reach efficiently evaluated reading
literacy and secondarily, by the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r, rho), the results obtained by other researchers were
corroborated. However, unlike other studies, significant at the 0.01 level (bilateral) correlation between age of participants and the knowledge of the LSM was found. It is concluded that many of the Deaf Students are not proficient in reading or the use of LSM. It is planned to carry out two further interventions to validate these results.
