Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go is my favorite rhyming story and song for growing listening, language, and literacy with preschoolers and early elementary-aged children. I have included it for years as part ... part of my Thanksgiving thematic unit. The playfulness of the song with the repetitive verses and humorous well-loved warm illustrations can help children develop early spoken language and literacy skills, such as auditory discrimination, phonological awareness, vocabulary development, and auditory memory.This companion gives you a variety of hands-on games for children with hearing loss and those with typical hearing to practice listening for, recognizing, and producing rhymes. I love helping therapists and teachers instill a love of shared book-reading that has kids engaged and excited.This book companion was created to be used with the popular folk song, Oh, A-Hunting We Will Go by John Langstaff and illustrated by Nancy Winslow Parker. The activities correspond with the style of the book's illustrations.Three Games* for listening for, recognizing, and producing rhymes.1.

This checklist is designed to be part of biannual discussions and monitoring between early intervention professionals and family members of infants and toddlers with hearing loss. Family members are a ... sked to consider the different areas that can affect the rate that communication skills develop and how often their child receives attention to each of these considerations. Areas covered are: Auditory Communication, Visual Communication, and Effective Communication Strategies.

A child has been diagnosed with hearing loss and fitted with hearing devices. Up to this point, most of the ‘work’ has been done by health care professionals, while parents and family members observed ... rved. After the fitting of hearing devices, parents, family members and teachers start to become actively involved in managing the child with hearing loss. Active participation at this stage requires parents and teachers to facilitate listening and language development. This is an exciting time for both the parent and the child with hearing loss as there is much that the parents can do throughout each day to stimulate listening and develop language skills.Parental involvement is one of the strongest predictors in a child developing spoken language, as they are the primary source of language that the child will be exposed to. Regardless of whether there is regular access to speech and language therapy, or any other form of therapy, there is much that parents and family members can do at home.

This bundle has 28 items for interventionists to share with families as they learn about their child's hearing loss, impact on brain development, language development, communication optio ... ns, etc. An amazing 105 pages! 

Age-appropriate listening and language skills are required for any child to succeed at school. At school, more advanced developmental skills, namely literacy and numeracy skills, are developed. A pare ... nt can already start to introduce basic literacy and numeracy concepts to a child as of birth. Parents do not always realize that preparing the child beforehand to learn each of these skills, is vital. Before children go to school, they need to acquire certain skills that will help them to read and write. This is the joint responsibility of the parents and the child’s educational team, such as the teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing, early intervention provider, speech-language therapist, and/or preschool teacher.Emergent literacy: Before teaching reading and writing skills, a child needs to know the processes and concepts involved in reading and writing. Emergent literacy skills discussed in this lesson include literacy socialization, phonological awareness, as well as printed word and alphabet knowledge. Reading is the process through which meaning is attached to written symbols and letters. It is about comprehending and actively responding to the content.Writing is the use of symbols to communicate thoughts and ideas. It is a way to represent language in a visual and tactile form. The development of the different components of emergent literacy, reading and writing is discussed in this lesson.

We all know that our DHH learners need to be taught vocabulary intentionally for a number of reasons. We also know that students need to be exposed to vocabulary words several times in order for them ... to internalize them. Vocabulary development is a crucial skill for our DHH learners. I created this resource for teachers to provide to families and/or older students during summer break.Encourage families to join this vocabulary exposure challenge over the summer! This resource contains 7 summer-themed word lists that can be given to families and students. Challenge families to take action and pick at least one word per day to use with their DHH learner in context. Have the families talk about the words with the students. Or, you can encourage your older students to pick one word a day to use and look up. Along with the lists, there is a chart that can be used to track the words that are used weekly.This could also be used as a resource for ELL learners or enrichment for students.
