The development of oral and written language of deaf people is affected by the absence of appropriate models for their educational needs. The purpose ot the present study was to describe the effect of the Intervention Program for the Development of Linguistic Skills into Written Spanish Language, it was designed following a Bilingual Perspective, about the reading comprehension abilities of mexican deaf students. Eight students participated, they get comunicated through mexican sign language. The reading comprehension was assessed three times using equivalent questionnaires, each one of them has four literal comprehension questions and four inferential comprehension questions, the participants answered the questions in Spanish and Mexican Sign Language. The analysis with Friedman test indicated that the performance improved after the educational intervention. The findings reveal the importance of explicitly teaching written Spanish rules for bilingual deaf students to improve their reading comprehension.
