Cued Articulation - Consonants and Vowels

Product Information

As tutors become familiar with the system they will realise how useful CA is, and in how many situations it can be used. It is recommended that users have the underlying knowledge of sounds and the sound system of English.

This is represented by starting the sign where the sound is made so ‘p’ and ‘b’ start on the lips where as ‘k’ and ‘g’ start down on your throat. All our children have some level of hearing loss, we feel that this method of supporting phonics allows them to take an individual learning pathway, developing their phonic understanding and applying it in the way that suites them best. For example a ‘p’ which is a voiceless, bilabial, plosive – meaning no voice box, made with both lips and it’s a popping sound – is made by putting your index finger and thumb together, putting them by the corner of your mouth and then pulling them apart as you say the sound.This will allow SfYC to raise an Internal Supplier Request for the school to complete and make payment.

The systematic literature review examines the effect of multisensory phonics instruction on children’s word-recognition skills.For every sound we make, our vocal chords, palate, tongue, teeth and lips all combine making different movements for every individual sound or phoneme. The study measured the effect of the intervention on children’s phonics knowledge, word-reading ability and attitudes towards learning. Participants were 154 children, aged four to five years, attending a mainstream setting in the South-East of England.

Cued Articulation can be used for individuals, pairs and small groups and also as an adjunct to basic literacy work in whole-class teaching. When children are first attempting to sound out and blend words or trying to listen for the sounds in words, Cued Articulation can help.I never directly ask a child to use the signs, but find many children enjoy them and naturally copy them. This training will give practitioners the skills and knowledge to support children who are presenting with speech sound difficulties. In their daily Phonics lessons, they learn to link a sound (phoneme) with its written letter (grapheme). This app is intended as a handy reminder of how each of the cues is made, and how it relates to the sound it represents and the letters that spell that sound.

Below is a list of the cued articulation actions which accompany the letters of the alphabet they will be taught.I also find that it is an easy way to encourage the child to look at your face without directly asking them. Findings lend support to the effectiveness of multisensory phonics methods, particularly when used to support children who are experiencing difficulties with reading. The ‘f’ sign actually helps some children achieve the sound as you can push the lip in to make contact with the teeth. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
