Auditory Memory Games to Prepare Your Child for Reading

Auditory Memory Games to Prepare Your Child for Reading

Do you wish your child to be a fast learner? Well, auditory memory development is a part of developing motor skills of the kid. You can help your kid in developing their auditory memory and reading habits with some very innovative and interesting games  that you can play at home too. We at Preschool San Diego prefer these techniques for better auditory and reading progress. These games improve auditory memory of your child. So let’s discuss some important auditory activities.

 

Six Auditory Memory Activities:

 

1. Bingo:

 

The most common kids play even when they’re in senior classes. Bingo is the easiest thing to play with any kid. You just have to bring pictures or words on their board. Do not show them what you call; only say the word out loud. They have to use their auditory memory to know what square to cover. You can make this as easy or difficult as per your child. You can describe the object or thing, and they have to listen to figure out what square you are referring to.

 

2. Musical Chairs: Auditory Memory Games

 

The best family game for any day is musical chairs. Every person develops a competitive spirit when they talk about musical chairs. Musical chairs is a fun game that kids will love at any age. Set up chairs in a circle and have one less than the number of people playing. Turn the music on and walk around the chairs. Whenever the music stops, everyone races to find a chair. The person without a chair to sit on is out. This game involves listening to the music to hear when it stops.

 

3. Songs and Rhymes:

 

Sense of songs and rhythms is something that every kid can develop easily. You must have seen them getting excited on their favourite song or rhyme. They can obviously sing it for you, if you show some interest! You can also learn some new nursery rhymes or a poem. This activates their auditory memory as they try to remember the lyrics.

 

4. Sequence Memory: Auditory Games

 

Sequences are very good for developing auditory and motor skills in all the toddlers and kids. You simply have to list items and have your child tell you them in the correct order. It could be numbers, words, etc. Start off small and see how many they can get in a row. This will help develop auditory memory.

 

5. Drawing:

 

Doesn’t every kid love to draw? They can draw at any hour. Choose something to have your child draw. Tell them each step to draw the picture successfully, sometimes adding 2-part instructions. Tell them the instructions, so they work on their listening skills and remembering the order of your instructions. 

6. Story Telling: Auditory Memory Activities

 

Read slowly and pause occasionally to think aloud about a story. You can say: “I wonder what’s going to happen next!” Or ask a question: “Do you know what a palace is?” Or point out: “Look where the little mouse is now.” Answer your children’s questions, and if you think they don’t understand something, stop and ask them. Don’t worry if you break into the flow of a story to make something clear. But keep the story flowing as smoothly as possible. Talking about stories they read helps children develop their vocabularies, link stories to everyday life, and use what they know about the world to make sense out of stories.

You can use these amazing tips for developing the auditory memory with these auditory memory games. At Preschool San Diego, these auditory games are used for faster and better development of Auditory and reading skills.
