Why do we need Cued Speech?

We know that deaf children and those with SEND struggle with literacy at Key stage 1 and we also know that many literacy programmes do not meet the unique needs of these children and that the belief that; ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!’ will often leave children feeling demoralised and bored by learning to read.

The materials are designed so that an adult and child co-work and learn together as they make their way through the programme, so there is minimal staff training required. It is assumed that one person- usually the adult - acts as the reading-partner by taking the lead in understanding the instructions and guiding them both through the session, and turn-taking is encouraged throughout.

This resource is based on the visual languages of the deaf world giving everyone the chance to engage even more of their capacities to learning, spatial, kinaesthetic and visual skills as well as listening.

The intervention is aimed at all those children who are struggling with learning to read and in particular deaf children and those with SEND.
