Skill Builders Listening
Effective listening involves the ability to hear and process information. It is essential for children to acquire good listening skills if they are to develop their knowledge and understanding of the world. Successful listening skills enable the young child to differentiate sounds, a crucial element in developing phonic awareness. The ability to recognise the sound/symbol relationship is fundamental to all curriculum areas, but it is particularly important in literacy and numeracy. Listening Skills provides a means by which learners may engage and interact with a much wider range of ‘virtual’ artefacts than might otherwise be possible. The four listening activities encourage learners to process what they have heard in order to recall the sounds and order of objects, letters and numbers.
