Ch.7 Listening to Learn
Why do we listen?
•   We listen to obtain information.
•   We listen to understand.
•   We listen for enjoyment.
•   We listen to learn.
Types of Listening

ļ‚— Discriminative
ļ‚— Aesthetic
ļ‚— Efferent
ļ‚— Critical
Active Discussion vs. Postponing Questions

ļ‚— Some teachers prefer active discussion during read-
  aloud time, while others postpone questions until the
  end
ļ‚— Most believe that reading in segments following each
  section with questions that guide discussion are the
  best method to enhance comprehension
Discriminative Listening

ļ‚— Used to distinguish sounds
ļ‚— Children use it to develop phonemic awareness
ļ‚— Children pick up on non-verbal messages and
 repetition to develop understanding of emphasis i.e.
 writing on the chalkboard or speaking loudly
Aesthetic Listening

ļ‚— AKA appreciative listening or listening for pleasure
ļ‚— The focus is the lived through experience and connection the listener
  makes to the story or piece
ļ‚— Examples: stories, poetry, songs, plays movies
ļ‚— Benefits-Interest in reading is stimulated, taste for quality literature is
  broadened, difficult books become accessible, background knowledge
  expands, reading role models
Teaching Listening

ļ‚— In a study of 6th graders 62% of students said they
    enjoyed listening to the teacher read-aloud
ļ‚—   Students listen better when they are involved as the
    teacher is reading as opposed to afterwards
ļ‚—   Listening is a receptive process
ļ‚—   Teachers must teach listening strategies-don’t
    take for granted students know how to listen.
ļ‚—   Strategies: predicting, re-predicting, visualizing, and
    connecting (text-to-text, text-to-self, text-to world)
Choosing a Book for Interactive Read-Alouds

1)Pick- High quality
2)Preview- Practice reading, make notes
3)Introduce- set purpose for listening; activate prior knowledge
4)Read interactively- model fluent and expressive language; step 2
5)After Reading activities
Participate in discussion and
After reading activities.
Read-Aloud Continued
Re-Reading

ļ‚— Repetition allows students to gain control over parts of the
  story, and connect those parts
ļ‚— Quality of responses improve
  ļ‚” With multiple readings the focus of responses changes from
    character based to detail and word base
Guidelines for Using Videos in the Classroom

ļ‚— Those with limited background knowledge can benefit from
  viewing or listening aloud before reading; for others this may
  lessen interest
ļ‚— The steps are similar to choosing a book
   ļ‚”   Preview, set purpose etc.
   ļ‚”   Compare contrast; introduce narration, setting etc. (AMA)
