[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 528583, member: 11847"] I'll try to answrs and react to all of your comments. First: singing. V does not sing and just became aware of music about 1 month ago. Regular songs are too fast and hard to hear for him to process. He is just realizing that music has a beat. Now, he is trying the "clean up song" but I have to sing it VERY slow and give him time to repeat after me. It is an emerging skill and at this point cannot be paired with any other learning. I usually try to give him the words so he can pick because indeed he knows the words, it' just not coming out. I actually believe he has a good vocabulary when I include both language. But finding the words and making sense of he is said is hard for him. As far as sight words: he is REALLY good at it as long as he can relate to the words. But I was a bit disappointed when I shared my great finding with Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and he told me it is not teaching him anything about language... V has a hard time with verbs and pronouns. Acting them is a really good idea! Marguerite, I'm glad you shared your story. You reassured me that it is not stupid. I had came to the conclusion that using 100% sight words was not appropriate.... now V and I need to go back at it and give him so success. Thank you all so much. I am going to save this thread: it is a wealth of practical information. The conclusion of this whole thread: tons can be done all the while having fun. Sadly the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is out of his league... [/QUOTE]
