HEIGHTEN YOUR CHILD’S PERCEPTUAL EXPERIENCES.

·         Sounds

Take a walk with your child. Ask him or her to listen for different sounds and try to remember them. Later help your child recall some of the sounds.

·         A familiar song

Sing the alphabet song with your child. It might be fun to start together and then take turns singing alone. For example:  Both sing a, b, c then one sings d, e, f, the other h, i, j.  Continue singing the letters in this way.

·         Singing and keeping rhythm

Ask your child to choose a couple of songs that the two of you can sing together. Keep time to the music by tapping your foot or clapping your hands.

·         Reading poems

Together find a comfortable spot and read some of the poems from your child’s favourite Nursery Rhyme or library book.

·         Yesterday I…

Ask your child to tell you some of the things he did yesterday.
