Answer: Try these  activities.  They’re very challenging!

Activity 1: Identifying words through distracting background noise. This is a free Posit Science game and is very challenging.

Activity 2: Listening for target words while trying to remember the story details.

n this short activity, you will listen to  someone read a short story very quickly. At the end, you will be asked to answer four questions about what you heard in the story. In addition, you are asked to raise your right arm whenever you hear teh word “right” and your left arm whenever you hear the word ‘left”.  I suggest you just raise your right and left index finger instead to make it a lot easier for yourself!

It’s a good exercise–I couldn’t do it first time through!
