The Rhythm of my Day Week 6

The Rhythm of my Day Week 6
In class this week we continued our pursuit of Stop and Go games. Your Home Activity sheet this week encourages you to play more Stop and Go games at home. Inhibitory control is the beginning of understanding self control.

You may notice that we often play with sounds. Singing certain songs to la, ba or do, may feel silly but is a great way to encourage emerging language skills. Singing nonsense syllables in songs assists children with auditory discrimination of different sounds. By using nonsense sounds that incorporate vowels you are giving your child an opportunity to develop her pre-language skills because she can imitate these sounds.
