Sound Discrimination: Hearing and listening are not the same thing. Active focused listening is a skill that benefits children in many ways. A good listener follows instructions better, develops reading and math skills more easily, and has enhanced social understanding. We can help our children learn to be better listeners by practicing listening. Play games where children focus on all the sounds around them. Instead of playing “I SPY” play I “HEAR”. You’ll be surprised at all the different sounds going on around you. This is a great game for the car or standing in line at the grocery store.
