Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and came from a family known for teaching elocution. He developed methods for teaching the deaf to speak by watching lip movements and reading others. In 1871, he moved to Montreal and taught visible speech, then published his work in Washington D.C., helping thousands of deaf people learn to speak. In 1876, Bell patented the telephone and helped found the Bell Telephone Company, which later became AT&T, a major company today. His invention allowed for long-distance communication by telephone.

2. Alexander Graham Bell was born in
Edinburgh, Scotland. His family was
known for teaching people how to speak
English clearly (elocution).
In his writings he explained ways of teaching
people who were deaf and unable to
speak. It also showed how these people
could learn to speak words by watching
their lips and reading what other people
were saying.

3. In 1871 he went with his father to
Montreal, Quebec in Canada, were he
took a job teaching about “Visible
Speech”.
He gave the job to his son.
Alexander Graham Bell soon became
famous in the United States for this
important work.
He published many writings about it in
Washington D.C.
Because of this work, thousands of deaf
mutes in America are now able to
speak, even though they cannot hear.

5. Thanks to Bell, we can talk
over long distances
and from this day the
telephone is a new
experience. And the
most important thing,
we can help other
people.
You need a number to connect with others and
talk for hours.Julen
