ACTIVITY 9 - MEMORY CHALLENGE
How Can You Help?
• Allow your child to retell a story that he or she has read, or one that has
been read to him or her. Be sure that your child can tell the story in the
correct sequence. Encourage your child to use words such as “next,” “after
that,”“third,” “finally,” etc. when retelling a story.
• While you are reading to your child, be sure to ask questions regarding
events that happened before you got to this point in the story. Also, have
your child predict what he or she thinks will occur next in the story.
• Together with your child, think about daily activities that he or she does
throughout the course of a day (i.e. getting ready for school, preparing
meals, playing games, watching movies, etc.) Use these opportunities to dis-
cuss the sequence of events.
ACTIVITY 10 - MUSIC
This activity stimulates creativity by allowing your child to play cheerful
melodies as well as musical notes. By pressing the letter buttons, your child
will be able to hear different melodies. By pressing the blend buttons, your
child can hear different musical notes. Perhaps your child could even create a
song by playing the musical notes in a certain order.
