Synopsis

Children’s listening habits and skills are a good predictor of oral language profi ciency, reading and writing skills, and later school success. Good listening skills do not simply develop naturally—they must be taught and practiced—yet many teachers do not get training on how to teach children to listen.

Using clear language and real-life examples, Mary Renck Jalongo explains why being an effective listener is a challenge—for adults as well as children—and provides research based suggestions for improving listening in the classroom and at home. Learning to Listen, Listening to Learn will help teachers to:

• • understand the components of listening
• • discover why children do or do not listen
• • actively listen to children and other adults
• • provide a rich oral language environment
• • help parents support their children’s listening learning

Children, especially in the preschool years, are ready to learn about becoming good listeners. This book is a welcome resource for teachers who wish to help them to do so.
