Cued Articulation
Consonants & Vowels
Revised Edition
Jane Passy
ACER Press 2010
This revised edition combines the consonants, vowels, colour coding and
demonstrative images of the Cued Articulation system under one cover.
Originally devised to help severely speech and language handicapped
children to see a sound and hear a letter by the use of easy and logical
hand cues, the Cued Articulation system has, over the last three decades,
proved an invaluable teaching tool.
Its potential and practicality is widespread and utilised by speech
pathologists, speech and language therapists, remedial and reading
recovery teachers who find the approach helpful in showing phoneme–
grapheme relationships; and primary teachers who use it in the classroom
to teach children the sounds of speech. Teachers who teach the
pronunciation of English as a second language to those learning English
also find it extremely useful, as do teachers of the hearing impaired who
want their students to see the sounds they cannot hear.

Teaching Oral Language
Building a firm foundation using ICPALER
in the early primary years
John Munro
ACER Press 2011
Oral language is widely recognised as an essential foundation for
successful school learning. Until recently, the acquisition of oral language
skills has been largely overshadowed by reading, writing, spelling and
numeracy and has not been considered a key component of school
curricula.
In Teaching Oral Language, John Munro redresses this imbalance through
the delivery of his step-by-step model, ICPALER. The Ideas–Conventions–
Purposes–Ability to learn–Expression and Reception framework describes
the various aspects of oral language from a classroom perspective and
demonstrates how teachers can best guide students to become effective
communicators and language users.
Designed to facilitate teaching and assessment, and to equip teachers to
hear and see students’ speaking and listening skills, ICPALER promotes the
use of self-talk and empowers students to become self-teachers of oral
language.
This breakthrough program has been used to inform several major
oral language projects commissioned by state and federal education
departments and is an indispensable resource for teachers and their
students in the early primary years.

Teaching Kids to Read
Basic skills for Australian and NZ parents
and teachers
Fay Tran
Wilkins Farago 2010
The gift of literacy is one of the most important gifts we can give our
kids. It can quite literally transform their lives, giving them the confidence
and skills they will need throughout school and into their adult lives. As
experienced literacy specialist Fay Tran argues in this timely and important
book, no child should leave school without satisfactory literacy and
numeracy skills.
The key is to teach them using phonics, the simple, effective and proven
method described in Teaching Kids to Read. Phonics is not only proven
by modern academic research to be the most effective way of teaching
literacy, it is also the method embedded at the heart of Australia’s new
National Curriculum.
Armed with the skills and techniques covered in this book, any adult can
teach kids to read.
