1.028 LANGUAGE: Understand Words: Show that sounds come from objects

Download the list of Level One Targets and Activities.

We can tell the location or direction that a sound is coming from. This is called sound localization.

At Level One, your child laying the foundation for later localization skills. Today’s activity shows your child that sounds come from objects and the objects may be out of sight.

Today’s activity: Use a rattle or other noisy object. Hold it about 12 inches from your child’s ear and make its noise. Continue to make the sound while you slowly move the object into your child’s field of view. (Test the sound at your own ear first to make sure you’re not using something that is uncomfortably loud.)
