My Diary - Med-El

1. Have you noticed any changes in your child’s development this week?
“Teapot”
Children very much enjoy learning language
through songs and games. The
movements are reminders for the words
that go with them, and the rhythmic cues
in the song facilitate the learning
process. Children also look for more eye
contact with the adult during singing,
and are therefore more alert. Often children
try to sing along, and they vocalize
noticeably more than during a normal
dialogue. Because we use similar words
in rhymes, we call their attention to the
minor differences in the words (stout vs.
spout). This is very important for the
development of clear speech perception.
