Oh Dear! I Cannot Hear! Celebrating Dr. suess’s Birthday March 2nd

 
 

I often use this Dr. Suess quote as an introduction when presenting at school in-services for children in my LSL auditory verbal caseload. It's an ice-breaker that teachers, administrators, staff, and parents all relate to and come together over their love of Dr. Suess. It launches the discussion of each of our roles in helping the child with hearing loss have auditory access at school and helping classmates understand hearing loss.

Oh dear, oh dear! I cannot hear.

Will you please come over near?

Will you please look in my ear?

There must be something there, I fear.

Say look! A bird was in your ear.

But he is out. So have no fear.

Again your ear can hear, my dear.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is a book written by Dr. Seuss in 1960.
