My Students
The acquisition of language and being able to use it is often taken for granted by those of us with normal hearing. All my students have language delays due to varying degrees of hearing loss. Good communication skills play a vital role in our success as individuals.
I have a self-contained class for hearing impaired students in a public school.
I have multiple grade levels ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade this year. My students are mainstreamed in regular classes for various subjects and/or related arts activities. All of my students use a cochlear implant and/or hearing aids to help them hear and acquire language. Their language delays range from a year to several years when compared to their hearing peers. My students are fun, energetic, enthusiastic and curious learners. Because of their lack of hearing, they are very tactile and visual learners.
My Project
My students need various story telling hand puppet sets and a set of alphabet hand puppets to help them tell stories to further their language development. The materials we are requesting will help my students in their acquisition of language. They will be able to communicate in a meaningful verbal, as well as hands on approach. They will be able to use the puppets to recall story details, do sequencing, as well as create their own plays. Most importantly they can use and increase their language skills!
Regardless of your job in life, communication is essential.
It is even more crucial to develop these essential skills for children with language delays. These materials will help provide an engaging, hands on approach to help them do just that!
