Many beginning readers make use of context when they are reading. By using prior knowledge, they compensate for inefficient word recognition.

Deaf children can experience enormous problems in the process of learning to read because they lack the ability to hear spoken language. As a result, deaf children start the reading process with less world knowledge, less cognitive and linguistic knowledge, and obviously less knowledge of the spoken language. It is unfortunate that they lack the sounds and grammatical structures of words.
