The thesis consists of two articles that will respectively be submitted to the journal Interface - Comunicação, Saúde (Study 1), and to the journal Psicologia em Estudo (Study 2). The papers were written in accordance with the results of research conducted with thirty-seven students from the Brazilian deaf community, users of the Brazilian Sign Language (BSL), attending classes from the 7th year of Elementary School, Ensino Fundamental (EF) in Portuguese, to the 1st year of High School, Ensino Médio (EM) in Portuguese. All students have profound deafness, are aged from 12 to 18 years old and are children of hearing parents, i.e. 100% are users of BSL (Libras) and 57% are users of alternative means of communication, in addition to the BSL. The Study 1 aimed to investigate whether the use of lip reading and/or oralization, in addition to sign language - the first language of the deaf -, could aid in the process of learning reading in Portuguese as a second language. The sample underwent Raven's Progressive Matrices, a semistructured interview and two reading tests: a word recognition and sentence reading competence tests. The group of BSL users, which performed lip reading and/or were oralized performed better on reading tests than the group which only used BSL. The Study 2, executed with the same participants of the Study 1, compared the development of logographic, alphabetic and orthographic reading strategies used by the two groups of profoundly deaf students. The same word recognition test employed in the first study, which also assesses the degree of development and preservation of the mentioned three strategies, was used. The deaf who, besides using BSL, perform lip reading and/or are oralized showed better results. In accordance with the Study 1, these findings suggest that the use alternative means of communication by the deaf is beneficial to the development of reading.
