Beginning Listening and Speaking Skills

Introduction

• Teaching these beginning communication skills with early learners will provide a firm foundation that will help them throughout their lives! Basic speaking and listening skills can also boost self-confidence in many settings during typical daily activities.
• Consistency is key in building these skills. Phrases such as “Be a listener” and “Use your words” will help reinforce good habits.
• You can also ask questions regularly. Think about the five “W questions”: Who, What, Where, When, Why. Asking these will make your child formulate complete thoughts. Eventually, you will begin to notice that their descriptions improve because they are already incorporating the answers to the questions.
• Modeling appropriate speaking and listening behavior will help your child see this skill being used daily. That is the best instruction you can provide!
• This course will provide some activities to begin building these skills. Use these activities as a springboard for future activites and fun experiences to practice being a good speaker and listener!
• Once this unit is complete, continue using it! Build on the foundation that this course starts and repeat some of the activities throughout your language arts instruction at home.
