About this title

Synopsis

Sharpen the eye as a substitute for ears to unlock spoken language. This guide explains how lip-reading can help hard-of-hearing readers understand everyday speech, using practical steps that blend theory with hands-on practice. It covers the two-part approach of explanation and ready-to-use exercises, making it useful for both teachers and self-instruction.

The book walks you through essential concepts, from how to observe lip and mouth movements to how to train perception quickly and accurately. It emphasizes practicing with real sentences and conversational contexts, not isolated sounds, to build usable reading skills. Clear instructions help readers tailor practice to their needs, whether they are students who recently acquired hearing or adults who rely on lip-reading as a daily tool.

What you will experience
- Practical methods to train the eyes and mind for decoding spoken language
- Step-by-step exercises that progress from simple phrases to fuller conversations
- Guidance on using stories, movements, and context to improve recognition
- A structured path for teachers and self-guided learners to build skills over time

Ideal for readers seeking accessible, structured guidance on lip-reading, including students, teachers, and anyone supporting a hard-of-hearing learning journey. The book aims to make everyday communication more understandable and empowering.
