Tips for using Snow Sounds: An Onomatopoeic Story with children: Have children repeat the “sound-words” in the book, and ask children, “What other objects make similar sounds? What are some loud sounds in this story---and some soft ones? What sounds in this book do we hear only when it snows? What sounds do we hear even when there is no snow?”
Tips for using Snow Sounds: An Onomatopoeic Story with families: When you travel with your children on foot or in a vehicle, ask your children if they remember the “Snow Sounds” book, and encourage them to listen for sounds, and to try to recall some of the “sound words” (such as “Vroom” and “Beep”) from the book. Share with children additional “sound words” for sounds you hear while out together.
