Materials and Prep

• No special materials are needed for this lesson.
• Be ready to have fun with sounds and words!

Activities

• Sound Echo Game: Start by making a sound, like clapping your hands or saying a silly word. Ask the student to repeat the sound after you. This is a fun way to practice listening and repeating!

• Word Play: Choose a simple word, like "cat" or "dog." Say the word and then ask the student to come up with a funny word that rhymes with it, like "hat" or "log." This helps with creativity and language skills!

• Story Time Echo: Read a short story together. After each sentence, pause and ask the student to repeat what you just said. This reinforces listening and memory skills while having fun with stories!
