Visual Phonetics is a combination of kinesthetic tactile skills, auditory feedback, speech awareness and production, along with reading skills. This tool improves decoding words/letters/sounds, reading, writing and speech. Many programs find Visual Phonetics successful.
I really feel like this tool is going to be incorporated into more programs, school and curriculums. I see that this can be extremely helpful toward all children, not only deaf and hard of hearing.
Here is a link that goes through each letter and sound of the alphabet, very interesting!

Thanks for sharing! I was interested in learning more about visual phonics after learning about it in class. I agree in your thinking that this is a great way to teach and instruct all children, whether they be deaf, hard of hearing, or hearing. It seems like such a useful and productive teaching method that children would be interested in and able to learn through.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this video! I also found the idea very, very interesting and am anxious to learn more about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI found this idea to be very interesting because we teach students who are hearing phonics, why not teach students who are deaf phonics in the way they communicate...visually.
Visual phonics is neat. I watched a few videos including the one you posted to help me better understand the concept. Thanks for the link.
