Cued articulation

The cueing method was developed by Jane Passy while she worked with children who had severe speech and language disorders. It assigns a hand sign to each of the 49 phonemes in English, and each sign reflects where in the mouth a sound is produced and how it is produced. The system is built on established linguistic theory, so the signs follow a consistent logic. For written work, consonant sounds are also colour-coded to give readers an additional visual prompt.

This book focuses on the consonants, showing how to cue each one. It is a companion to Cued Vowels, which covers the 23 standard English vowel sounds. Together the two books are intended to support the teaching of spoken English pronunciation.
