Almost every preschool student plays teacher at one point or another! Today during Work Time, some of us decided to play teacher and practice the Ling Sound Check!
In the second video, you will even notice that one of them practices doing the "silence" and the student being the student catches on right away!
I posted about the Ling Sound Check here last year. You can print off your own copy at home!
We use the Ling Sound check every day at Circle Time to make sure all of our hearing equipment is working properly.

Notes from Cochlear:
What is the Ling 6 sound test?
The Ling-6 sound test was developed as a quick and easy test that parents and professionals can use to check their child has access to the minimal amount of sounds required to hear, understand and learn speech.
The test checks that your child can hear the sounds (detection) and in time, identify what the sound are (identification) across the different speech frequencies.
The test checks that your child’s entire auditory system is working correctly – from the sound processor microphone to their brain
Why These Six Sounds?
The Ling-6 sounds are the particular sounds that occur at particular speech
frequencies or pitches. For example:
m /m/ is a very low frequency sound and if your child cannot hear this sound it is likely they will not have sufficient low frequency information to develop speech with normal prosody (tune) and without vowel errors.
oo /oo/ – [u] has low frequency information.
ee /ee/ – [i] has some low frequency information and some high frequency information.
ah /ah/ – [a] is at the centre of the speech range.
sh /sh/ is in the moderately high frequency speech range.
s /s/ is in the very high frequency speech range.
