This series is ideal for all students from age 5-11, students with special learning needs in higher grades and ESL students. They can be used as a whole class exercise, in groups or on an individual basis with students.
The exercises in these books require the listener to actively listen for information in each story or set of instructions and show that they have understood and processed this information by adding information onto the picture that relates to the story. For each picture there is an easier and harder exercise.
Just as we teach handwriting as a specific skill that then flows through to students writing stories with fluency, there is a place to ‘teach’ listening as an isolated specific skill as well!
