Seeing Speech cover

This resource provides visual aids for speech-language pathologists and phonetics students, enhancing understanding of sound articulation. Seeing Speech is an invaluable tool for effective communication.

In Seeing Speech, readers are introduced to a comprehensive flip chart designed for the easy comparison of key images representing each consonant and vowel. This resource is particularly valuable for speech-language pathologists who work with both adults and children, helping them to modify and improve their articulation of sounds. By providing visual representations, Seeing Speech enhances understanding and facilitates effective communication strategies.

Moreover, the flip chart serves as an essential tool for students of phonetics. As they delve into the intricacies of sound production, they can utilize the images to grasp the similarities and differences between various phonetic sounds. These visual aids support learners in developing a more nuanced understanding of speech patterns, ultimately enriching their educational experience.

Seeing Speech not only aids professionals in their practice but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the complexity of human speech. By bridging the gap between visual and auditory learning, this resource empowers both practitioners and students to explore the fascinating world of phonetics with confidence and clarity.

Sarah Braithwaite, NHS Tower Hamlets, Speech and Language Therapy in Practice magazine, (Spring 2011): "Each sound is represented on each side of the divided pages. Each side can be 'flipped' independently so any two sounds can be compared. The sound is described together with a photograph, diagram, ultrasound image and EPG frame. Older children and adults would find the photo and diagram useful...Useful to brush up on exactly how a sound is produced and possibly for training other professionals."
