Sequences three directions• Auditory comprehension of songsSequences three directions: Get ‘My Bathtime Picture Cards’ and show your child Card 2. Tell him it’s time to take a bath. Give your child jobs, or directions to do in groups of three. For example, tell him, “Get your bath towel, take off your shoes and turn on the water”. “Get some toys, your pyjamas and take off your pants.” Giving your child three things to remember is helping him to increase his auditory memory and learn to sequence events in the correct order. If he only remembers the last one, repeat all three again in the same order. This will help him pay attention to the parts he missed the first time. If three items is too difficult for your child this week, practice telling him two things and build up to three directions over the next few weeks. Once your child is in the bath, let him see the cards and talk to him about the various activities on each card. Try to use three item directions when talking about each picture, for example, card 2 “The boy is getting undressed. He is taking off his shoes and socks.” For card 3 you could say, “The tub is filling with water. He turned on the cold water and then the hot water.” Continue talking about each card by highlighting three things about each one.• Auditory comprehension of songs: Your child should be learning quite a few simple songs by now and singing in the tub every night is a great way to review old songs. One of the best ways to help your child learn all the words and verses in songs is to sing a line and have him repeat it. If the line is too long, break it into smaller chunks to help him remember the words. The two songs below in the Song section can be taught by singing the following lines and asking your child to imitate you
