Correct.  How can FJ say that the deaf child can not "pick it up" just because they can not read the words on close captioned?   Most deaf children are most eager to learn to read and write.  Just give them time to learn them without going through speech, speech and speech all the time.  It is okay to learn speech a little but focus on learning in education setting with the help of ASL interpreters.  English reading and writing is all around us all the time.  Nope, we can not escape from English.
