Getting students to pay attention is a constant challenge in any early childhood classroom. Sound discrimination activities like this one can help. When your students participate in sound discrimination activities, they learn about sounds AND the art of listening.
Using listening games like this resource is the first step in sound discrimination and sets the foundation for phonemic awareness. It’s also a great way to help your children become attentive listeners.
Through consistent practice in sound or auditory discrimination, students become more capable of recognising and analysing the sounds they hear so if you want to help your children hear the sounds in words, you need to be teaching auditory discrimination.
Auditory or sound discrimination will help your students identify phonemes within words.
At the foundational level, students begin by recognising and distinguishing between environmental sounds like the ones contained in this Powerpoint lesson.
After mastering environmental sound discrimination, children can progress to the next stage where they learn that spoken language consists of individual words.
- While many educators dive straight into sound isolation, blending, and segmenting phonemes and introducing corresponding letters (graphemes) early on, don't overlook the importance of the initial stages of sound discrimination and attention-building.
Imagine having a class full of attentive listeners – a teacher's dream come true!
