Over the years I have taught poetry to a few hearing-impaired students and aside from recognising the letters, it's quite difficult for them to understand the sonic quality of poems and why it enriches the language.
I devised a lesson using different textures to represent sound. Silks and satins for sussuration, cotton wool for f and p sounds, pine cones for spiky sounds like k... how would you represent sounds using concrete objects? Or maybe colours?

It could be worse
