This module was designed to help hearing impaired children learn common
idioms and sayings, which can often times be confusing. Each idiom has 2 pictures, one for
what it sounded like you said and one for what you really meant. There are 2 cards for
each idiom, the second card has the positions of the pictures reversed. This was done so
that the idioms can be taught with the pictures in a standard position (i.e. "What it
sounded like you said" on the top). Then testing or drilling can be done with the
pictures in random order.
