Video: About Cued Speech
 We Cue! I like this video because it gives a brief introduction into how Cued Speech works. It shows how the hand shapes identify sounds. It is useful for a hearing parent who is looking for information. It explains the system in a very functional way. Unfortunately, while the speaker cues what she says, it is not [...]Tue, Nov 16 2010 Guest Bloggers
 We Cue! I’m interested to find out if any other cuers are interested in guest blogging. Are you a cuer, the parent of a cuer, a person who supports cuers? Do you have stories concerning the history of Cued Speech, Orin Cornett, or early cuers? Are you willing to share your story? Let me know by leaving [...]Sun, Aug 22 2010 GTHR LV
We Cue! I’ve mentioned in the past that I am a hearing parent of a deaf/HOH cuer, but that I personally did not learn phonics as a young reader. My grade level in school was taught the whole word method to learn to read. I really didn’t even understand what phonics and phonemes were until I learned [...]Wed, Jun 23 2010 Graduating Thoughts — Is Forever Enough?

We Cue! It was in the summer of 1999 when I stumbled upon Cued Speech. I had just finished my freshman year of college at Roger Williams University and was getting ready to head down to Washington, DC to participate in LEAP (Leadership Enrichment Adventure Program), a leadership program designed for oral deaf and hard of hearing [...]Sat, Feb 20 2010 Dream Girl
We Cue! Deafness is a part of our lives; deafness is part of Maddie's life. Maddie turned 15 yesterday, and time for me to sing her praises, not exclusively but especially as a sibling of a deaf brother.Tue, Feb 09 2010 Video from a BSL user
We Cue! I love when I stumble upon videos concerning Cued Speech. I found this video on YouTube. I’m glad it was captioned. The person in the video is a BSL user who used Cued Speech until she was 7 years old and then switched to signing. Now, as an adult, she wishes she had continued to [...]Thu, Feb 04 2010 Prosody II
We Cue! This is the continuation of my first post about Prosody, and why we should cue it. ************** To show you how so very important prosody is in communication, I've embedded two short videos of myself cueing several short sentences, one with prosody, one without. See which one you can get the most meaning out of: WITH PROSODY Cueing with Prosody WITH N...Tue, Jan 19 2010 Under Exam — Failure or Needs Improvement?

We Cue! I guess this post is really aimed at those hearing individuals who are learning to cue, or who've learned to cue, in order to support someone who is either hearing impaired or using cued speech for other educational reasons. I want to talk about finding creative ways to practice and improve your cueing skills. I [...]Wed, Dec 02 2009 November Dates

We Cue! Today was a first for me. While at the mall with my son, a lady walked up to me and said “You Cue!”. Indeed as my son and I wandered through the mall talking, I had been cueing to him. She was from neighboring Montgomery County, but we knew some of the same people. I [...]Thu, Aug 06 2009 Happy Independence Day!

We Cue! “Imagine, if you will, a family that has just had a new baby.

At two, they decide it is the correct time for baby to begin to talk. Each day, [...]Tue, Jun 02 2009 17 Again: Back to the Future of Cueing …

We Cue! I can’t count the number of times I’ve been in the hot seat. Or the number of times I’ve been on a panel of native cuers being asked questions about what it’s like being deaf, what we think about cueing, what our advice is for fellow cuers, parents, professionals, aliens, and maybe a marmoset here [...]Wed, Feb 25 2009 Learning From Each Other

We Cue! In another blog, I wrote about the increasing use of digital technology and how Keen Guides is using it to create more integrated experience for people of all languages and communication modalities. We're hopeful that it creates dialogue when everyone has access to the same information. I think it's important to create experiences for people in [...]Tue, Feb 10 2009 Argentine Journal — Fathers & Sons
We Cue! A Super Sunday? Absolutely! ... Hearing or deaf, the love of a father and son endures.Tue, Feb 03 2009 Prosody I
We Cue! I'd like to take a few posts to chat about prosody. Prosody is usually something that is only really covered in intermediate to advanced cue classes. Beginner classes are (of course) concentrated around getting you to learn how to cue words with at least a modicum of accuracy and fluency. But sometimes even cueing pros [...]Thu, Jan 29 2009 One Note at a Time
We Cue! Imagine that you are a professional musician working every day and never playing the same piece of music twice. Each evening you show up at the auditorium in your black tux and on a screen, you are shown only one note at a time, in rapid succession, not a standard piece of music with the [...]Wed, Jan 21 2009 Do you Cue in your dreams?
We Cue! I realized recently, that from time to time, I find myself Cueing in my dreams. Sometimes it is when I'm communicating with someone to whom I would normally Cue, but in other dreams I find myself Cueing to people who have no knowledge of Cued Speech. It seems that when I find myself Cueing to [...]Wed, Jan 14 2009 New Year’s Resolutions.
We Cue! I've never been a big fan of New Year's until this year. I suspect it's because my life used to revolve around the school calendar, from September 'til June. Now that I'm in the working world, there is getting to be some meaning behind our traditional calendar year, with a “new fresh” and a conclusion [...]Mon, Dec 29 2008 More Cued Speech Informational Videos
We Cue! There are actually a total of five video segments which the National Cued Speech Association has made available. This one is the longest. It's called Who Uses Cued Speech?

This one is entitled Cued Children's Stories and it includes the cued versions of several familiar [...]Thu, Dec 04 2008 Argentine Journal — The Constant Educator
We Cue! Have you ever been disappointed that no one knows about cueing, about Cued Speech's design as an ideal tool in overcoming deaf illiteracy? I was at a friend's son's Bar Mitzvah last weekend (I have just loved saying that phrase; such joy to use a double possessive). In a quieter moment, it was revealed through [...]Sun, Nov 30 2008 When I was learning to Cue
We Cue! Many hearing parents who learn to Cue for their hearing impaired or deaf child have learned to do so while their child is still quite young. Some as early as infancy, others during toddlerhood. Since my son was not diagnosed with a hearing impairment until 2nd grade, I was working with different developmental milestones than [...]Mon, Nov 10 2008 Argentine Journal (Fragments)
We Cue! Refracted thoughts on Argentina, communication, empathy for Ben and his deafness: (1) Can you ever really blend in when you are an outsider? Should you?

We Cue! In spite of most of my previous posts that may appear so controversial and one-sided that may cause confusion and misinterpretations, I have been contemplating and reflecting about the whole thing. I just want to clear up all of the misconceptions and misinterpretations about my viewpoint. My previous posts are simply the “effect” of the [...]Thu, Oct 23 2008 Finding the Common Denominator
We Cue! At the risk of sounding cliche, I don't believe in bad events or moments. I think that ultimately, we look back and have a good understanding of why events happened and how it changed our course. Challenges make us stronger, more certain of our decisions, and more well-rounded. Those decisions may result in a greater [...]Tue, Oct 21 2008 In the USA, English is the Language to Be
We Cue!

We Cue! Everyone may have their preferred way to learn new spoken foreign languages. I am here to share my preferred method for learning new spoken languages. It may not work for some people, and it may be valuable for others. I hope it is something valuable for some of you.

We Cue! Imagine this scenario… Doug, a college student with hearing loss, has a huge desire of being able to communicate in the Spanish language fluently. Pursuing this desire, he decides to take Spanish 101 at his university. He realizes that he is having a trouble understanding his professor’s voice. The sound may seem so garbled and distorted to [...]Mon, Oct 20 2008 Sign Language and Communication
We Cue! In spite of the recent comments about my position on ASL, I just thought that I would express my thoughts regarding sign language. I am stating that I am not totally against sign language. I wonderfully embrace them as another tool to our bags of tools for communicating with people. There are some situations that sign [...]Sun, Oct 19 2008 Cueing vs. Cue Reading
We Cue! A recent comment to one my earlier posts made me stop and consider the differences in learning to Cue vs. learning to Cue Read and consequently allowed me to contemplate on one of my own personal dilemmas. Tasha left a comment stating that she was relieved to learn that a hearing individual did not always [...]Tue, Oct 07 2008 Argentine Journal (Listening)
We Cue! Argentine Journal (Field Notes) The effort of listening. How travel to a foreign country, with a foreign language, generates empathy for Ben, my deaf son.

We Cue! …it’s not just about mechanics and understanding which “th” words are voiced and which are voiceless. It’s about collaboration, understanding, and communication. Oh, and motivation. I’m a native cuer. I’m also deaf—profoundly deaf. And I don’t exactly have the best auditory processing skills. I can discriminate the difference between high heels clacking down the hallw...Sun, Sep 21 2008 Argentine Journal
We Cue! Journeys, metaphorically or literally, through life or to foreign countries, require some interactions with others, at least for basic needs – transportation, food, lodging. These basic transactions require interacting with others, which requires communication. This summer I went on an overseas adventure to Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my teenage children, Ben, 16,...Fri, Sep 12 2008 Smarter Than a 5th Grader?!?
We Cue! What I really love about September is that none of the erasers have been chewed off the pencils. Yet. The last blog that I wrote has a comment from Esther asking if I have cued in all of the grades yet. That's funny because my colleagues joke that we should, by now, be smarter than 5th [...]Fri, Sep 12 2008 Languages and Communications - Part 1
We Cue! Living here on Earth, it’s most likely that you encounter these people… A very excited English speaker pronounces and voices about her amazing day, “What’s the most incredible day I’ve ever had in my life!” A very thrilled and expressive male ASL user repeatedly put his right hand on his right forehead and moves his right [...]Mon, Sep 08 2008 Back To School
We Cue! Many school districts have been back in school for a week or more, but Fairfax County Schools began classes this week. As everyone finds themselves slipping back into those school day routines, it a good time to take a look at what our own expectations are for our children. Parents need to help their children [...]Thu, Sep 04 2008 Gratitude
