This paper addresses literacy from the perspective of deaf education studies1, analyzing how this concept has reframed understandings about educational practices for deaf students, more specifically, the teaching of reading and writing in Portuguese. Based on three publications, two in the early 2000s related to scientific events in the field and a more recent one from 2018, we intend to show that a dialog was initially constructed between the concept of literacy as social practice and the sociolinguistic concept of bilingualism, which has been re-appropriated as a bilingual education project for the deaf. During this process, specific language practices have been established that have direct implications on how classroom literacy for deaf students has been seen until the present time.
