  16. Rules for good communication 1.Attract the person's attention before you start speaking to them, so they won't miss any of what you say. 2.Make sure the group members can see your face when you speak. 3.Make sure your face is in a good light when you speak. Don't stand with your back to the window, as light will frame your face and make it difficult to see. 4.Don't hide your lip movements when you are speaking, by waving your hand, or holding a cup in front of your face etc.. 5.Keep your head still while speaking.

  17. 6. Speak clearly and slowly. 7. Try to make the subject of the conversation clear. 8. In the group, repeat what you have said to both sides, remembering your immediate neighbours. 9. Try not to speak when someone else in the group is talking as its impossible to lipread two people at the same time.

  18. For the Lipreader 1. Face the speaker. In a group, a circular arrangement for chairs is best, so that you can see all of their faces. 2. Distance. 4-7 feet from the speaker is usually best depending upon your eyesight. 3. Hearing. If you have a good ear then sit with that nearest to the speaker. 4. Moving. Don't be afraid to move your seat, or ask other people to move, so that they are in the best position for lipreading.

  19. 5. Background noise. Choose a quiet room for conversation, or switch off distracting noises such as the TV and radio. 6. Background. Rooms with distracting pictures, brightly colored wallpaper etc. can make lipreading difficult.
