Introduction

The use of Cued Speech at the newly named Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education (ERADE), formerly the Royal West of England School for the Deaf, continues to grow with innovative work by Cate Calder and Academy staff. Policy at the Academy is to aim for excellence in both English and British Sign Language. To support the English access within this bi-lingual vision, 16 of their 38 students are currently using Cued Speech with adapted ‘Synthetic Phonics’ materials as part of their literacy learning.

This report will look at signing deaf children’s access to literacy through the use of Cued Speech and Synthetic Phonics.
