Experience books

When we were in California we learned a lot of things. One of them is about how to read books to children with hearing loss. Not only that, how to make books! Yes, they told us a way to make it more interesting for children to learn something new. We could also teach them about situations or things that will happen in the future, like visits to the doctor or traveling on the plane. Luca has traveled so much that when I tell him we are going on a plane he understands what is involved in that, but other situations are harder for me to explain to him with his limited vocabulary understanding and limited sign language.

Cuando estuvimos en California aprendimos muchas cosas. Una de ellas es sobre como leer libros a ninhos con perdida de oido. No solo eso, como hacer libros! Si, nos ensenharon la manera de hacer mas interesnte para los ninhos el aprender algo nuevo. Tambien les podemos ensenhar sobre situaciones que van a ocurrir en un futuro, como visitas al medico o viajes en avion. Luca ha viajado tanto que cuando le digo que vamos a ir en avion entiende lo que eso conlleva, pero otras situaciones me son mas dificiles de explicar con su vocabulario tan limitado y con sus pocas senhas.

When we got back to his school in Jacksonville this summer they also wanted to create experience books so that got me going on to starting my first book. I wanted to teach him about feelings. This is how it came out. The words I wrote are learning to listen sounds that he uses in therapy.

Cuando volvimos al colegio de Jacksonville este verano tambien querian hacer libros de experiencias y eso me hizo empezar con mi primer libro. Queria ensenharle sobre los sentimientos. Y asi me salio. Las palabras que escribi son sonidos para aprender a escuchar que usa en la terapia.
