Synopsis
Excerpt from A Series of Lessons in Articulation and Lip-Reading: Containing Full Instructions for Teaching the Various Sounds of Spoken Language, With Copious Exercises
It is desirable in the earlier lessons that the teacher's mouth should be on a level with the pupil's eyes, or as nearly so as possible. And it will be an advantage if the position of the pupil is shifted from time to time, so that he may see the teacher's face at every angle sufficient for recognising the words.
In regard to instruments for use in teaching, the only ones the present writer has found advantageous are little flat bone spoons, such as are sold for a penny each as salt spoons, a sheet of tissue paper hung up by the corners on a level with the child's mouth, and a good sized hand-mirror, large enough to admit of both the teacher's and pupil's face to be seen at once therein.
