I don't think I would agree with this.  If a SL is a person's
first language, there is no guarantee that they will typically read
the prevailing written language.  Especially since many education
programs for Deaf children attempt to teach the prevailing
written language as a FIRST language when it should be taught as
a SECOND language!

Sorry if I'm off topic, but that statement doesn't ring true for
me...
