Cued Speech

Cued speech is a fun way to use hand signals and mouth movements to help people understand and speak better. It's like a secret code that makes speaking and lip reading easier.

When we talk, our mouths move in different ways to make different sounds. But sometimes it's hard for people to understand what we're saying, especially if they can't hear so well or if they're learning a new language. That's where cued speech comes in!

With cued speech, we use special hand signals and mouth movements called cues to help people understand what we're saying. For example, when we say the "P" sound, we make a puff of air with our lips. When we cue the "P" sound, we also touch our chin to show that we're making a "P" sound.

People who know how to use and read cued speech can use these cues to figure out what someone is saying, even if they can't hear or see well. It's like a secret language that people use to communicate better!
