Make it Monday- Music
You can use music to kick your child's speech and language into
high gear! What does music
teach??? Music teaches your child to
listen, attention, intonation, stress, beat, and so much more. There are picture books that follow
songs. Intonation, stress and beat,
help a child learn the flow of how we talk.
Put an action to the words of song, and then you can have a visual,
gestural, and verbal representation of the song. Do you want to boost your child's vocabulary? Music offers the repetition that is key in
vocabulary development.
" Putting words
to music breaks them down into syllables, emphasizes key consonants and slows
down the sounds of speech", says Sally Goddard Blythe, Director of the
Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology, Chester. Can I hear an "oh
yeah?"
1. Go HERE to learn how to make musical instruments with your children!!!
2. A quick shaker/noise maker: Take an empty coffee can, fill it with dried beans, put the lid on the can, and tape it very well.
3. You can also break out your pans and wooden spatulas... and now you have a drum!
