Lip reading is a technique of understanding speech where a person visually interprets the movement of the lips, face, and tongue when normal sound is not available. Lip reading goes beyond simply reading the speaker's lips to decipher words. It relies on information given from the environment like body language and other gestures. If you are struggling with understanding the skills involved with lip reading and are looking for some extra help, contact Varsity Tutors today to be set up with a lip reading tutor.
Here are some of the concepts a lip reading tutor can work on with you:
- Using cues provided by movement of the speaker's mouth, face, and tongue
- Evaluating information provided by body language and gestures
- Using vision to assist with listening
- Using prior knowledge to fill in gaps of information
Lip reading tutoring allows the student to work in an environment that they are comfortable in. Learning a new language can be overwhelming and at times nerve-racking. A tutor can also assess a student's skills, identifying areas where more focus should be placed to make efficient and steady progress. Lip reading is also easier when it is done in a quiet environment. Working with a lip reading tutor allows the student to practice these skills in an environment where there are limited distractions in comparison to the classroom.
