Tips using Cued Speech for reading with Deaf/Hard of Hearing preschoolers:
1. Build pragmatic language or the social language we use daily with others by using repetitive phrases such as "Come on, let`s go!” or "It`s a wonderful day!"
Using repetitive phrases familiarizes the child with common expressions, fostering their understanding of pragmatics and how to use language in social interactions.
2️. Incorporate gestures, especially when using lots of new words at once, such as “over," across, "around," and " through."
Integrating gestures, especially when introducing numerous new words, helps make the meaning more accessible and memorable for the child. Using Cued Speech and gestures enhances their comprehension and retention of vocabulary, especially when dealing with abstract concepts like prepositions.
3️. Ask questions or summarize to provoke memory and recall, such as "What kind of leaves do they have now? Maple leaves, birch leaves, hickory leaves, and red oak leaves..."
Asking questions and summarizing content prompts memory recall and encourages active engagement with the story. Using cued speech to ask questions encourages the child to retrieve information, reinforcing their language development and understanding of the narrative.
