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.

This is a simple rhyming sound. I like how it repeats the rhyme 3 times to allow the child to hear it over and over. We sing this little tune when we find words that rhyme during everyday life.

Hat....Cat....These words rhyme
Hat....Cat....These words rhyme
Hat....Cat....These words rhyme
So rhyme along with me

More rhymes:

bed/red
hat/cat/bat/rat/sat/mat
duck/truck/stuck
shoe/blue
hand/sand
frog/log
dad/sad
brother/mother

We find all sorts of simple words and go from there....sometimes when we take a walk the children will find things that rhyme and bust out in the song...I am so proud when that happens! I also do not discourage the nonsense words, as they are still rhyming; for example, Brooke always wants to rhyme the word tongue....so we just make up some non-sense words that rhyme with tongue.
