Listening and Spoken Language Summer Category Fun

Auditory Processing, Auditory Memory, Auditory Integration - 

Targeting Categories For Effective Listening and Spoken Language Skills

Information that can be organized in some manner is most easily retrieved. The organization of words into categories provides effective neural “hooks” for retrieval and an effective “filing cabinets” for storage.  The use of categories is especially relevant to auditory memory. Short-term auditory memory relies on techniques such as chunking, while auditory association is key to long-term memory. 

Chunking and association both use categories. Learning categories help children in describing related words, allowing for more effectively listening and spoken language skills with robust vocabulary.

Listening and Spoken Language Summer Themed Conversation Cards

I recently purchased a Summer Themed game as I wanted something new in therapy not that I needed any new summer materials. ;-) 

These versatile 54 fun summer themed conversation cards can be used to target many goals of the various kiddos I see for AVT, auditory-based therapy, and even APD therapy.

Listen and Learn with Summertime Would You Rather? Questions.

Would You Rather? questions are great fun for higher level listeners

 or those with an auditory processing disorder. 

Present these intriguing questions through hearing alone to target auditory memory, auditory processing and comprehension abilities. This activity is great for practicing critical thinking because they require the listener to evaluate two different, but seemingly equally appealing (or unappealing) options and choose one. Expressive language skills are expanded as their choice is explained and defended.
