Speech and phonic symbols, adapted from the Northampton symbols, are presented as a simplified system for teaching reading and speech to deaf children. The symbols reflect the General American spelling-pronunciation relationships found throughout the midwestern and western United States. Ways to use the symbols for indicating features of speech production are suggested.
