Abstract：In text reading, individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing often prioritize high-frequency content words, frequently overlooking function words. This approach is termed the "Key Word Strategy"(KWS). The utilization of KWS may correlate with variances in metalinguistic awareness among individuals with hearing impairments. Specifically, this strategy is characterized by syntactic awareness deficits stemming from a limited grasp of function words and an enhanced orthographic awareness attributable to visual compensatory strengths. However, this conclusion is primarily based on correlational studies examining reading outcomes, lacking definitive causal evidence. Future studies should investigate online sentence reading processes and delve into the interplay between syntax and orthography. Exploring how enhancements in syntactic and orthographic skills, through targeted interventions and training, influence the reading processes of individuals with hearing impairments is also crucial.
