Review "Teaching Children to Listen outlines a whole-school approach to improving listening skills. It begins by looking at why listening skills are important and how to overcome barriers to achieving them, before pinpointing the behaviours that children need to learn in order to be a good listener." "Each activity sets out what equipment you need to play the game, tips for facilitating and ideas for differentiation, and are designed to be used by teachers, teaching assistants and therapists. Perfect for children aged 3-11, all the games and ideas have been tried-and-tested, and have proved successful with children with a range of abilities, including those with learning difficulties and other special needs."--BOOK JACKET.
