About Me

My photo
I am just a mom: a mom of three kids and one of them is hearing impaired. We are a busy family and I am a very busy mom. I want my hearing impaired daughter, Brooke, to have every advantage so I try to incorporate as many lessons and strategies into our every day life. Most of the teaching I do with Brooke is incorporated into our daily routines and parent-directed play. This blog will include some of our formal lessons but mostly it will be learning to listen in the everyday.

Pumpkin Alphabet

The girls loved completing this activity.

Objective:
a. practice letters of the alphabet

Points to Remember:
1. Get some alphabet stickers and make sure they are easy to remove from the backing so your child will be able to complete the activity independently.

Lesson:
1. Draw a pumpkin shape on a large piece of paper.
2. Write the letters you would like your child to recognize. I put all 26 capital letters.


3. Give your child the stickers and the pumpkin. Explain to match the sticker to the letter written on the pumpkin. Brooke figured it out and started before I even gave her directions.

4. Let your child work independently and help only when needed.
5. Sing the alphabet song as you look over her work.

Modifications:
1. Use lower case letters.
2. Use alphabet stamps to match to the written letters.
3. Use with numbers.
4. Draw a Christmas tree or other holiday related picture to fill with letters.
