Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that people with deafness have low reading comprehension, regardless of their educational level. This issue is due to several factors, such as the difference in the representation of sign language and written language, which causes in the deaf reader difficulty in recognizing words and parse sentences and the late acquisition of vocabulary in sign language, which compromises the development of language. In this paper, we present an analysis of school texts from the Mexican elementary school system in order to determine their readability level, lexical diversity and keywords relevant to comprehension. This analysis serves as a preliminary step in the course of the design of a software interface to support reading comprehension for people with deafness. Lastly, we present a low-fidelity prototype of the interface and describe the aspects considered in its design.
