 Lesson Classifying /Categorizing Sounds

1 Heard (Animals, Mechanical Objects,

Musical Instruments, Environmental)

Learning to classify or categorize sounds heard is an

important skill. It helps us identify and distinguish the
sounds heard in the environment. Knowing how sounds
are produced will help us determine and produce the
sounds of the letters of the English Alphabet.

What’s In

Remember

➢ Different animals produce different sounds. Their

sounds could be loud/high or soft/low.
➢ Musical instruments have different sounds. Some
musical instruments produce loud/high or soft/low
sounds.
➢ Sounds in the environment and transportation differ
from one another. They can be loud/high or loud/soft.
