Day 40: Recognizing Common Sounds

Here is another learning activity adapted from our “Home Preschool Curriculum” developed by Fran Wisniewski and Diane Flynn Keith for UniversalPreschool.com.

Remember, only do these learning activities if they are enjoyable for you and your child. Do not treat this as a “must do” lesson. It’s simply a fun activity that provides an opportunity to learn, while building “readiness skills” for the school or homeschool environment.

~ Recognizing Common Sounds ~

Close Your Eyes and Open Your Ears.

  • Have your child close their eyes and listen to what’s going on around him/her (inside or outside).  Ask him/her about the sounds they hear.
  • Ask your child to close their eyes or turn around.  Make sounds with objects.  Have your child identify the object that makes the sound.  Let your child do the same to you.

Learn The Sounds That Letters Make!

You can listen to the sounds that letters (consonant and vowels) make while watching a clever animation with your child at Starfall.com.

Play the Magic School Bus Gets An Earful Sound Game.

Your child will have fun finding out if he/she has a good “ear” for matching up sounds with the things that make them.
