Learning to Distinguish Sounds

Posted by the folks at Cow & Lizard on Feb 3rd 2016

An important skill for preschoolers and toddlers is learning to distinguish between sounds.  The most common is to start with animal sounds, but there are a whole lot of other sounds that may be of interest to your child - vehicles, items around the house, etc.  This skill helps with language and when the sounds are associated with letters or words.  Parents can easily turn this into a game.

eeBoo makes an Animal Sounds puzzle pairs game that is a great place to start.  It is an educational game that kids match the animals with the sounds that they make.
