Description: These cards target the auditory skills your students need for classroom listening, reading, writing, and thinking tasks. Students practice listening for specific objectives and formulating appropriate responses to questions. Each card is illustrated on the front with three to six stimulus items and suggested responses on the back. Tasks are organized by order of complexity within each section. The 200 cards target 10 auditory processing skills: Auditory Reception Students answer yes/no, true/false, and basic knowledge and reasoning questions. Riddles Three items in the same general category are pictured on each card. Students listen to clues and identify the target item. Phonological Awareness Students discriminate rhymes, generate rhyming words, identify the number of words in sentences, segment or form compound words, identify beginning and ending sounds, name words that start or end with a given sound, and delete syllables from words to form new words. Details Students listen to, retain, and repeat specific parts of what they hear to answer questions about details in pictures. Main Idea Students name the main idea of a list of details and tell the main idea of a message. Following Directions Students differentiate informative sentences from directions. They learn to listen for specific pieces of information such as who, what, when, where, why, or how. They identify ambiguities in directions and learn to ask for more information. Comprehension Students listen to a story, then choose a title for the story, and answer questions about it. Exclusion Students listen to and process information and questions that contain negative markers (e.g., not, doesn't, isn't, can't). Problem Solving Students listen to a passage carefully in order to identify problems, predict their probable causes, and suggest appropriate solutions. Absurdities Students listen carefully to what they hear and identify errors and what doesn't make sense.
