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.

S - ounds

Today we did a little phonemic practice my breaking words into 2 smaller phonemes and then saying it "fast" to get the words. Let me give you some example:

1. Lets go get in the \c\ .... \ar\. Say it fast: "car"
2. Would you like a \dough\....\nut\? Say it fast: "doughnut"
3. When Jake gets home from school we will \sw\....\im\. Say it fast: "swim"
4. Will you pick up that \st\...\ick\? Say it fast: "stick"

You get the point.

Kate was really great at this and often knew the word before I even said the last part. Brooke had a difficult time with saying the 2 sounds fast. She would still say to 2 separate sounds instead of the complete word. We will keep working at it: it is a great auditory and pre-read skill.
