Listening Skills Development?

Submitted by Felicity (09-11-2012)

« Back to Ask a Teaching Question

Hi!

Another question from a beginning teacher (second year but still find this a complex task!). I would like to develop my students' listening skills and their ability to comprehend text that they hear.

Does anyone know of any good short stories/ short non-fiction texts that I could use for this purpose?

It will be done in small groups.

Thank you!

I love to use podcasts through iTunes. There are loads of different types from Pinky Dinky Doo to classic stories and kids radio programs. It gives me variety for free and we listen to them on the listening post or as a whole class.

Enjoy your teaching!

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
