Etymology

The term 'speechreading' emerged in the late 19th century, as educators and researchers sought to find effective methods to aid deaf individuals in communication. The practice of lip reading predates formal terminology and has roots in various cultures, where individuals learned to interpret spoken words through visual cues. Over time, as awareness of the needs of the hearing-impaired community grew, so did the development of speechreading techniques and training programs. The term itself reflects the combination of 'speech' and 'reading', emphasizing the interpretive nature of the skill. Speechreading gained particular prominence in the early 20th century with advances in education for deaf children, leading to its recognition as a valuable communication tool. The education system increasingly incorporated speechreading into curricula, highlighting its significance in fostering social interaction and literacy among the hearing impaired.
