We are using the cues with a focus on expanding vocabulary. We take a sign that can be utilized for so many concepts and present a list of synonyms through cues. I think the time is ripe to broadcast the benefits of cueing. As a parent, I have been frustrated to see my son, a bright, creative reader and writer, not be able to spell. The result is students who can't spell or attack words.
Educational philosophies swing like a pendulum.
Approximately every twenty years, everything shifts back and starts again. Nothing is truly new. Cued Speech is not new. For most of us, it was some form of signed English or Pidgin. As I have said, I've kept an open mind toward all philosophies and tried them all.
