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.

Silly Mistakes - Phomenic Awareness - Step 1

Silly Mistakes Read a familiar poem or story . . . but make any kind of Silly Mistake that will be obvious to your child. For example, You might replace a word with nonsense: Jack and Jill went up the pickle or say the words in the wrong order: The first little pig built a straw of house or even swap sounds: The clock struck one, The mouse ran down, Dickory, Hickory, Hock Ask your child to catch your error! (Silly mom or dad.)

Today we replaced words to practice our listening:
1. Humpty Dumpty sat on a chair
2. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the king's horses and all the king's monkeys, couldn't put Humpty together again.
3. Old Mother Hubbard went to the refrigerator to give her poor doggie a bone
4. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to give her poor doggie a bone, but when she got there the cupboard was bare, so the poor kitty had none.
5. Little Miss Brooke sat on a tuffet
6. Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her applesauce, along came a squirrell and sat down beside her and firghtened Miss Muffet away.

We had so much fun with this activity!

Here are some Christmas Silly Mistakes we did in December.
