Paying attention
Tuning in and staying with a task — even when there’s a lot going on around them.
pre-schoolers · I-Listen
Give your little one the best possible start.
Between ages 3 and 6, your child’s brain is growing faster than it ever will again. I-Listen builds the listening and attention skills that shape how they’ll learn for the rest of their life.
sound familiar?
Have you noticed any of these?
- They struggle to follow simple instructions.
- They forget what you just told them — immediately.
- Noise makes them distracted or overwhelmed.
- Sitting still and paying attention is hard, even for a short while.
- They mishear words or mix up similar sounds.
- They battle to retell a story in the right order.
This isn’t naughtiness. It’s not a language problem.
These are early signs that listening and attention skills need support.
And the pre-school years are the best possible time to help.
why now
The pre-school years are a window you don’t want to miss.
The pathways forming in your child’s brain right now shape how they learn. Listening skills built in these years directly affect:
- How well they pay attention in Grade R and beyond
- Following a teacher’s instructions
- How quickly they learn to read and write
- Playing and talking with other children
- Handling their feelings in new places
Getting this right early makes everything easier later.
what I-Listen trains
What we actually work on
Remembering what they hear
Holding onto instructions, stories and information — and using them.
Putting things in order
What comes first, next and last. A building block for reading and maths.
Telling sounds apart
Hearing the difference between similar sounds — so important for early reading and spelling.
Making connections
Linking ideas together and understanding meaning beyond the words.
Building vocabulary
Growing the words your child understands and uses every day.
the home programme
The fun doesn’t stop when the session ends.
Every I-Listen child gets a done-for-you home programme: weekly games already planned and ready to go. No preparation needed.
The activities are playful, short and easy to fit into your day — a car ride, bath time, after dinner. You don’t need to be a therapist. You just need to show up and play.
More practice. Faster progress. Skills that stick.
And you’re not on the outside looking in — you’re part of your child’s growth.
for neurodivergent little ones
Does your child have ADHD, autism or sensory sensitivities?
Children with ADHD, autism or sensory-processing challenges often find it harder to filter out noise, follow spoken instructions and stay engaged in groups.
I-Listen gives them gentle, structured practice in a safe space — building exactly the skills they’ll need in a classroom.
Less overwhelm. Better communication. A smoother start to school.
The pre-school years go fast.
