Correct auditory perception is important for the ability to read, to write, as well as to learn foreign languages. It is not about developing musical talent, but rather about developing children's ability to distinguish individual sounds, syllables and words, recognize their length, as well as the basic rhythm of speech. You can practice these skills without paper by playing various games, such as name-city-animal-thing or by creating strings of words starting with the end letter of the previous word, etc. However, they can be combined also with graphomotor activities on paper.
