ERIC ED093133: Lipreading for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

The guide provides fundamental principles of lipreading instruction and 38 sequential formal lessons in lipreading for use at the junior high or older level. It stresses that lipreading training aims to develop the understanding of words, phrases, and sentences rather than the study of exact lip movements. The lipreading ability of the child is said to be usually far beyond his oral and written expression. Part 1 contains fundamental principles and teaching techniques such as individualizing instruction, using commands to develop exact lipreading, taking dictation and lipreading from television. The activities in Part 1 may be used for readiness purposes prior to formal lessons and as enrichment in conjunction with the formal lessons in Part 2. Lesson format provides information on the following areas: movement, visibility symbol, sample words, elicited words, secondary spellings, movement description, sound formation, eye drills, clue words, sentences with clue words, homophenes, devices and games, and practice words at six levels of difficulty with the target lip movement in the initial, medial, or final position.
