Expressive and Receptive Skills Development

One’s expressive skills (i.e., ability to cue) and receptive skills (i.e., ability to cue read others) do not necessarily develop at the same rate. The CAECS-R serves to assess one’s ability to cue read single words.

Consider Training

People who are deaf/hard-of-hearing and were raised with cued English as their first language acquired the ability to cue read passively. If you learned to cue in a course, you might need training in order to cue read especially if you do not rely on cue reading for day-to-day communication.

Know Yourself and the Assessment

Before the test, you may want to perform some self-assessment to estimate your level of cue reading fluency. Are you able to cue read reliably at the word, sentence, or conversational level? The CAECS-R will require you to cue read model cueing at the single word level.
