About this resource
The Social Emotional Learning Unit: Listening Activities is an 18-page resource full of ideas, lessons and printables to teach students about listening skills. You will receive a handout that includes teaching points, read-alouds, videos and extra activities. There is a letter to caregivers to support listening skills at home. After learning about effective ways of listening, students will get to write about what they've learned and practice their reading skills with the emergent reader.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the body parts used in whole body listening
Follow spoken directions during listening games
Retell what a partner said
Teaching tips
The motor-break video and song are linked online, so internet access is needed for those activities.
Read-aloud titles such as The Listening Walk are suggestions; the books are not part of the file.
The two worksheet versions differ in word-bank length, and the shorter bank carries less text for early readers.
Skills covered
Active listening — practicing with Simon Says and partner retelling
Noticing sounds — reporting what they hear on a class listening walk
