Let’s get started
Today we will explore hear all the sounds in me through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Stretch 'me' slowly and listen to the beginning and end.
- Try it as a team: Repeat the sound in a playful game. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Listen to the sound first. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example
Stretch 'me' slowly and listen to the beginning and end.
Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored hear all the sounds in me. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Stretch 'me' slowly and listen to the beginning and end. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about hear all the sounds in me. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
Five optional ways to revisit this week
Choose a few minutes on any days that suit your child; these are ideas, not mandatory daily assignments.
- Day 1 · Discover: Stretch 'me' slowly and listen to the beginning and end. What did the child notice about hear all the sounds in me? A parent may record their spoken answer.
- Day 2 · Repeat: Repeat hear all the sounds in me together slowly. Encourage the child to choose the materials or lead the play. Describe how the child participated in hear all the sounds in me today.
- Day 3 · Change it: Explore hear all the sounds in me again in a different place or with another set of safe materials. What changed when you tried the activity differently?
- Day 4 · Pretend: Invite the child to explain or act out hear all the sounds in me for a toy animal or family member. Which part could the child explain, show, or imitate?
- Day 5 · Celebrate: Let the child choose one favorite part of hear all the sounds in me to repeat, draw or talk about. What is one skill, observation, or question to remember next time?
