Young children learn from everything they see and hear around them and so it is important to help them develop their ability to look and listen carefully. Looking and listening games give children many opportunities to practice listening.

Children need practice to become good listeners. With good listening skills children can understand what someone is talking about, they can follow instructions and they can complete tasks.

Good looking and listening skills will help your child succeed at classroom tasks. Importantly, being able to hear the differences in sounds in words is a skill for young children to have when they begin to learn to read and write.

Playing the Letter Snake game with your child gives them time to have fun while learning about letters and the sounds they make.
