Thanks for all the very helpful ideas on training students to listen. It's such an obvious yet often overlooked issue; if the children don't know how to listen, their ability to learn is seriously impaired!

Definitely! Quote 3. Read each group of items. They are not in order. Children name the items in the correct order or sequence. (b, c) a. shoe, sock, foot (foot, sock, shoe) b. eat, school, breakfast (breakfast, eat, school) c. hurt, trip, fall (trip, fall, hurt) d. eat, cook, food (food, cook, eat) We used to do something similar to this, only it was with pictures, that you had to place in chronological order. I realize, that way it has nothing to do with listening, but it was still a good exercise.
