This resource is a quick and simple activity designed to facilitate the development of listening comprehension monitoring through the use of short stories.
LanguageScreen is an early language assessment developed by the University of Oxford that measures Expressive Vocabulary, Listening Comprehension, Receptive Vocabulary, and Sentence Repetition.
In this activity students will evaluate their understanding of a text they have heard. If students are having difficulty with understanding they will choose a “fix up” strategy.
During this activity, students brainstorm what they know about a given topic. After engaging with text, they revisit their brainstorm and identify words, ideas, etc. that were used in the text.
The Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) curriculum builds students’ reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills through an integrated literacy approach.
