Session 3, Begins May 21 Read a Chapter in your chosen book. List the name of the book, name of the chapter and summarize the chapter briefly. Talk about how it relates to you. Respond to at least one other participant's post

I read from the book Creating Inclusive Learning Environments for young children What to do in Monday morning? By Clarissa Willis chapter 4 pages 45-53 and this chapter is about children with hearing lost how children can get hearing lost from a sickness that the parent will not take care on time and that would make the child lost hearing. The hearing lost are usually define as mild, moderate, severe or profound depends in the child's ability to hear certain sounds at various frequencies. Children with certain types of hearing loss will benefit from different amplification device Also with a cochlear implant that provide a beneficial level of sounds to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. Children with hearing loss can affect young children in 4 major areas in a classroom : 1. It causes delay in the development of communication skills 2. He or she may not progress academically as fast his peers because the child with hearing impairment. 3. They also have problem with communication is difficult to them to talk and interacts with peers. 4. It may influence future vocational choices. The child would feel socially isolated and have difficult having friends. Communication ‍‍‍is‍‍‍ very important for children. You can use Auditory-oral, Auditory-verbal, Cued speech , Sign Language, or Total Communication with children with hearing impairment. Use picture cards as a useful tool to help the child. Seat the child close so they can see your face. If the child use sign lenguagefor communication teach The class a few sign to them. Look for opportunities to determine what the child can hear. This case was related to me because in my care I have a mother and grandmother the have hearing disabilities and they have too communicate with the children and my self and I have to learn to talk to them looking strait to their face so they can read my lips also I have to teach her children to talk quiet in the classroom and teach the other children when they would touch them to that the attention like they would do with mom and grandma and they develop speech problem because the pronunciation of the adult of the house afect them.

Session 4, Begins May 28 Review the Kara's Kit. Think about how you might use the Kit with a child you know now or have worked with in the past. Write about how you might use/have used the kit. Respond to another participant's reflection.

The Cara's Kit book is a really interesting manual that I would use with comon situation in the classroom settings routines and activities it cap my attention the area for the books I understand and as a provider know the important of reading and have children around literacy from birth through adult how important is to read them every day and have the material around them in all the times. I get really angry if I see the books use as a weapon or at the floor so I try to teach the children the right way to use and love books and how important is to read for them. Always at their level and we also do activities were they make their own books and they love that.
