It mainly helped me with a basic understanding of phonics and lipreading. It's my understanding that it was intended to take guess work out of lipreading.
Phonics has never been my forte btw and I still have some trouble with it. I don't recall it improving my writing as my first grade report indicated that I already had a very good under standing of English. We were all in second grade when we first learned cued speech. I don't recall ever using it before 2nd grade.
I was eight at the time. My mother was the only one who cued in my family besides me. We didn't cue much at home. Cueing lasted only six months in 2nd grade and by the time I was in 4th grade, I had stopped cuing at home.
