Readers will be able to understand and perceive the deeper meaning of the text based on their experiences and knowledge obtained through reading. This research aimed to compare hearing-impaired students reading literacy in exceptional and ordinary schools in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 28 hearing-impaired students of the 4 th year of primary exceptional and ordinary schools of Shahr-e-Ray and Shahryar cities, Iran, using the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study ( 2006) booklets. Comparative statistical analysis was performed using Student s t-test. Results: The hearing-impaired students in ordinary schools had significantly (p<0.05) higher scores [mean (SD)] in reading literacy [3.67 (.74)], comprehension of informational contents [4.2 (2.48)], and comprehension of literary contents [3.4(.23)] than hearing-impaired students in exceptional schools [.78 (.06),.92 (.49), and.64 (.62), respectively]. Conclusion: Hearing-impaired students in ordinary schools meaningfully had higher performance of reading skills in comparison with hearing-impaired students in exceptional schools. It seems that an appropriate cultural bed should be provided in order to conduct these students and accept them in ordinary schools.
