What is Cued speech?

What is Cued speech?

Answers

Faith
Cued speech is an oral method which uses a set of hand cues with speech. The hand cues are used near the mouth to overcome the problem of lip reading, where some sounds are identical or are impossible to see. When lip reading many words look alike on the lips i.e they have the same lip shape and lip movement.
For example, “dip” and “tip” look alike on the lips. In order to clarify meaning. you can cue in the person you are talking to by finger spelling the first letter in each syllable as you pronounce the word simultaneously.
