Cued Articulation for Teachers and Teaching Assistants
About this course
This on-demand course uses video clips and quizzes to help participants learn and revise the cues, and gain a clear understanding of the basis and principles of the cues. The aim of the course is to give teachers and teaching assistants the skills and confidence to use Cued Articulation.
Taking a structured approach to learning about speech sounds it uses a repeating formula to cover the sound system in depth. The course includes details about the crossover between spelling patterns and speech sounds and how it can be used in the classroom. It teaches cued articulation techniques and provides practical ideas for using Cued Articulation to promote the development of listening skills and early sound awareness.
Course duration
The nature of the course is detailed and in-depth. It is not recommended for anyone seeking a quick overview. The course will take one full day, or a day equivalent to study. Course delegates are given 6 months of access time to the course.

Course testimonials
“It was very helpful learning how and where each sound is produced. I found it harder to learn the vowels so more revision is needed. It is really helpful that I can return to the course content and practice.”
