Cook Up Language With LSL in the Kitchen

Did you know your kitchen is one of the best places to help your child learn to listen and talk? Whether you’re making pancakes or pouring cereal, mealtime routines are full of rich opportunities for language learning, especially for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. In this video, Dr. Teresa Caraway, a speech-language pathologist, shows how simple Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) strategies like “Hear It Before They See It,” “Play-By-Play,” “It’s Your Turn,” and even a little friendly sabotage can help your child build vocabulary, grow confidence, and enjoy everyday conversation. Cooking is about more than making food. It’s about connection, curiosity, and language. These moments help your child learn to listen, talk, and thrive! One scoop, stir, and silly question at a time. 👩‍🍳 LSL fits into your family’s favorite food traditions, whether it’s Friday night tacos or Sunday morning pancakes 🌐 Explore more tools at hearingfirst.org // FOLLOW HEARING FIRST Facebook: http://bit.ly/3HrIgK2 Instagram: http://bit.ly/3wmHur5 Pinterest: https://bit.ly/3ksAvdw
