Attention and Listening in the Early Years

An innovative course designed for groups of children aged 2-4. Each group sessionis planned around a theme such as 'The Farm' or 'The Zoo'. the themes provide an anchor for the children to gain meaning from the listening activities, games and songs that will help them learn to sit still, not talk, look at the speaker and think about the words - all vital skills in good listening

Complete with full instructions, including lists of the equipment needed for each session and the auditory and visual objectives of each activity. Each session should run for no longer than 15-25 minutes, and will be a fun and fruitful alternative to traditional circle-time for early years practitioners such as playgroup and preschool leaders and speech and language therapists.

With photocopiable preparation plans and shorter prompt plans for the sessions.
