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.

Red Sock, Yellow Sock

objective: 1. listen to a story with competing background noise 2. answer questions about a story 3. repeat a sentence or phase word for word Points to Remember: 1. Using the background noise/music in a story is a step after listening to stories without the extra noise. 2. I am teaching Brooke to repeat entire sentences to work on developing her auditory memory as well as allow me to see if she is typically leaving out certain parts of speech. Lesson: 1. We found the story Red Socks and Yellow Socks here: 2. Listen to the story in English (your other option is Korean if you want to listen in Korean too) 3. Stop the story occasionally to ask comprehension questions. Try to ask questions that your child can not answer visually like, "What is his name?" or "Cousin Kate said what?"
3. After listening to the story, press the Story Repeat button. Here the voice will read a line and then kids' voices will repeat it - have your child join in with the kid voices to repeat it.

4. The Story Alone button will have the voice read a line from the story and then leave quiet time for your child to repeat it.
5. Brooke's favorite button was the chant. They took the story, reduced the word a made a little song. The second time through the song, the voice leaves time for you child to repeat.
