At all eight levels in this series, your child will learn words from interacting with people who are using words. Later, when your child is using sentences, they will be ready to learn from books or media.

Learning takes place best when your child is focused on the relevant information. That means they are able to see and interact with a person and they are able to clearly hear what that person is saying.

Television and music that plays in the background masks what people are saying. This background sound makes people’s speech harder to hear and it’s harder to tell the difference between speech sounds.

Today’s activity: When you do your practice activities, eliminate background sounds that compete with your words. Think about what times of the day background noise will and will not interfere with your child’s learning.
