Beyond the Obstacle

Maximizing the benefits of auditory learning: Helping children hear the phonetic sounds builds a repertoire of sounds like a memory bank. They learn the letters and write them during school, and practice hearing them through read alouds. Their minds dwell on these sounds and often replicate them subconsciously or consciously. Exposure to the word and letter sounds, as well as listening to different stories builds a storehouse of information in their malleable minds, helping them overcome obstacles in reading, speaking, and processing.
