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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Lip-Reading Principles and Practise: A Hand-Book for Teachers and for Self Instruction

Music

The ruder strains of music are denied,
The music of the human voice is lost,
The gulf of silence ever grows more wide,
My bark sails noiseless o'er life's swelling tide,
By soundless billows tost.

But waves of harmony forever roll,
Orchestral cadences e'er fall and rise;
The mysteries of the part within God's whole,
The eternal whisperings of the Over-Soul
Still 'trance me to the skies.

Ceaseless I hear the God of Nature call
Where green and gold chant anthems in the wood;
The meadows, daisy-capped, the silver ball
Of evening, stars and surging ocean - all,
All sing of Love and Good.

It is the symphony of symphonies
Within my soul I hear, - to live, to work,
To turn my back on stumbling yesterdays,
Soul-sure defeats may e'en be victories
If e'er I fight, nor shirk.
