See-Think-Wonder Strategy

2025-02-25 21:28:01 UTC

This is a strategy that can be used before students listen to or read a text!

Teaching Kids to Visualize

2025-02-25 21:33:09 UTC

Here the author refers to visualizing as a strategy for improving reading and writing however, I used this strategy for listening comprehension.

Brain Movies

7 Engaging Listening Activities

Lexical Bundles

2025-02-25 21:40:44 UTC

"Lexical Bundles" are phrases of 3-4 words and frequently appear together in natural language. If we give our students opportunities to listen for some of these bundles, understand their function and apply them in their own speaking, writing, etc. we can help build their comprehension and support their listening skills/ proficiency

Using Dictation to Improve Listening

2025-02-25 21:48:57 UTC

We've been reading a text that discusses using dictation to improve listening. This article helps to summarize some of the ways to do this.

2025-02-25 21:53:36 UTC

Game/Activity: Do they mean the same thing?

Here are a few samples; you can create more using content are ideas!

Students can determine if they mean the same thing or do no mean the same thing-works well with partners because the cards can be read aloud to the listener for analysis.

Listening Round

2025-02-25 21:54:39 UTC

Another strategy from the text is to increase student accountability as well as provide opportunities for students to discuss what they have heard with peers to fill in the gaps of information they missed or to clear any misconceptions.

A whole bunch of videos with transcripts that can be modified into gap fill activities.

Beginning Vowel Recognition

2025-02-26 19:52:49 UTC

This is a good word recognition warm up game maybe during a breakfast group or before a phonemic awareness lesson. The game can be played with different rules and I have students guess words to see if they recognize the beginning "e" vowel sound. The game is typically called green glass door but I play "Emocionante Expedicion por el Ecuador" and only things that begin with the "e" sound are allowed on the expedition. So elefante, espinacas, escoba, or edificio. Students take turns guessing items to bring on the expedition until they discover the rule.

Heggerty-Phonemic awareness activities

Listening games; Classroom teachers have the manuals

Total Physical Response (TPR)

2025-02-27 20:23:09 UTC

Listening and Physical Activity

Simon Says, Follow the Leader
Action Verbs Charades: Students act out verbs (run, clap, jump, etc.), and the rest of the class guesses what the action is, or vice versa
Storytelling: Students act out actions of the characters (She put the cake in the oven.)
Songs: Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes; The Wheels on the Bus
TPR Scavenger Hunt: Students perform tasks around the classroom. (Teacher can say: "Turn to page 15", "Point to the door", "Put eight books in the basket.")

Word Ladders

2025-03-04 20:52:07 UTC

Word ladders are great for recognizing similar sounds in a word. I use them a lot in the younger grades. The student builds the picture at the bottom with magnetic letters or the tiles from Fundations boards are great for this. They have to change the word to the next picture above based on which part of the word is changing and how they hear it, whether it's a different vowel team or consonant blend. You can even have students ask their partner questions about each picture. Your building coaches or a grade level teacher might have a set of worksheets or Ellen Delgado may have posted something similar on the literacy google classroom.

This article features instructional ideas for listening practice.

2025-03-07 23:12:19 UTC

I like to use these Listening Card activities with the students and extend them with writing tasks at the end (i.e. write as many words as you can to label pictures, write a sentence about one of the pictures, etc.). We always warm up by brainstorming ways to listen and remember/ be a "good listener". I am attaching some of the cards that I have found most useful from level 1.

2025-03-07 23:14:11 UTC

Listening Cards, continued., These are some of the exercises that I found most useful in the level 2 collection. There are still opportunities to extend this into short writing tasks afterward.
