Visual mom - Auditory student

[sarahlynne]

Are there any good resources for early language arts (phonics) that are aimed at the auditory learner. Son (almost 6) has some visual issues and appears to be an auditory learner, but I am so visual! I am looking for something that would help me come up with some auditory lessons working on phonics, perhaps a lesson that I could read. I could come up with them myself, but am wondering if there is already something published. We are doing Ordinary Parents right now but want to do more oral lessons/games with him.

What about shared reading? www.progressivephonics.com is free...but you do have to register.

My DD is actually a very visual learner, but she is obsessed with music. So, every 2 months or so I create a custom music CD for her that contains songs related to what she wants to learn about during that time.

http://www.songsforteaching.com is a good starting point. I've also found loads of great songs on CDBaby.

She loves these CDs and has them playing all day long. She's learned so many things just from singing along.

Here is the one I just made last night for February, just to show the variety:

Un, Dos, Tres, ¿Què Hora Es?
Un Mundo para Todos
When You're Magic
The Books I Like to Read
Fact Families, Skip Counting, Mozart
Math Pattern Chant
Rhythm and the Science of Patterns
Un Gato
Where I Live
Three Religions
The Smallest Part of Something
Artists from Italy
The Castle of Elements
Bobo The Bear
Eohippus
Meow Meow Meow
Science Tools
The Scientific Process
