lip reading method by which the deaf are able to read the speech of others from the movements of the lips and mouth. It is sometimes referred to as speech reading, which technically also includes the reading of facial expressions and body language. Lip reading is a medium of education in many schools for deaf children (see deafness ). It came into wide use after World War I in the rehabilitation of shell-shocked, or otherwise deafened, soldiers.
