Teach students to be active, intentional listeners. Explicit instruction using questions, pictures, and visual organizers helps them extract meaning from what they hear and gain confidence in the classroom and beyond.
The activities systematically guide students to comprehend what they hear. They will:
- listen to short dialogs and point to pictures to answer wh- questions about them
- read illustrated stories and answer questions by referring back to the text
- listen to a story while looking at picture supports, then answer questions about the story
- listen to narratives and messages and identify absurdities, missing events, conflict, and resolution
Written in the proven format of the Spotlight series, these activities help students develop listening skills with:
- picture-supported lessons that shift to listening-only activities
- carefully controlled vocabulary
- a wide variety of curricular content as well as daily life experiences
- minimal demands for writing
- pretest/posttest
