Visual Phonics by Hand is a technique for teaching phonics that uses finger-spelling as a starting point. This is a skill that all pupils learn early in their deaf education which means they to relate to Visual Phonics by Hand quickly.
It was developed by Babs Day whilst teaching a varied group of year 2 boys, and together they worked out the alphabet stage by learning the alphabet and giving a meaningful hand cue to the phoneme made by each letter.
