Word of the Week = I

Enjoy listening to the following songs and stories with your child. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Listen to a video all the way through without interruption. Demonstrate for your child how to point to ‘I’ on a core vocabulary communication board each time you hear the word in a song or story.
2. Play the video a second time and continue to point to ‘I’ when you hear it. Pause the video periodically to give your child time to look at or to point to the ‘I’ picture symbol.
3. Try slowing down the video speed to see if it helps your child follow along and respond. There is a settings icon at the bottom of all youtube videos that allows you to adjust the playback speed, try 0.75. You want to find a speed that gives your child more time to mentally process the language but at the same time still makes the video sound fun and engaging.
4. Try listening to at least 1 song and 1 book each day.
5. Have fun! If you’re enjoying the activity, your child will too!
