Chautauqua Lake, New York
Milt The Talking Musky is a preschool through second grade Sight Word learning tool utilizing video and music in teaching 86 Sight Words in a sing along and read along format. Setting lessons to music in combination with video is proven to increase learning retention in young children. In 2008, one of our office assistants working here at We Wan Chu Cottages was tutoring some young children outside of work including two twin six year old Autistic boys. After watching Milt The Talking Musky, one of the these boys attempted speech for the first time ever…

Milt The Talking Musky used to be listed on Autism Speaks web site under Video Tools & DVDs, but when they did a website redesign, they eliminated all of those links. The author, Peter Wiemer, believes it had to do with the mesmerizing underwater aquarium setting and Milt’s song, which sparked something within the boy. It wasn’t until this year, 2017 did Peter realize that there is an important correlation between Autism and the benefit an Aquarium has on these young children… Google “Autism and aquarium benefits”…
Milt the Talking Musky was created by Peter in 2005 when his six year old daughter, Jenna, was having difficulty learning Sight Words at school. Roger Hooven, a musician from the Buffalo area and patron at We Wan Chu Cottages lent his artistic expertise to the project by co-writing the song and singing, Milt The Talking Musky. Roger Westley from Clymer, NY, contributed original drawings and co-wrote the content for the 40-page coloring book, which is a pdf file available for as a free download from the web site to be printed from one’s own printer. Within the coloring book’s pages are 228 Sight Words woven through the storyline so children can color and read and color and learn 228 Sight Words while coloring. Using Milt engages several of the senses in teaching these Sight Words: visually seeing the words on the screen and printed in the coloring book, auditory hearing of the Sight Words spoken and sung, and touch through coloring while reading, coloring and learning.
