Active Listening for Active Learning is an essential resource for all teachers who recognise children who are too nervous or inexperienced to ask questions; those with language difficulties who nod vacantly when asked if they understand; those who insist they are right and see only one point of view; those who lack self-help and questioning strategies and those who cannot distinguish facts from guessing or opinion.

Active Listening for Active Learning provides a complete programme for
• observation and assessment
• identification of need
• planning and intervention
• monitoring and maintenance
• integration of additional support and whole class activities

Active Listening for Active Learning will help children
• develop clear two-way communication
• improve their attention and listening skills
• develop and trust their judgement
• view mistakes as part of the learning process
• seek help in an appropriate and timely manner

Developed primarily for 4-12 year-olds by experienced school-based speech and language therapists Maggie Johnson and Carolyn Player, the principles apply to all age-groups. Many of the activities can be introduced in preschool settings, adapted for older students or used with teenagers with special needs.

The 416 page resource pack comes in a lever arch file with a wide range of strategies & photocopiable resources.
