Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Listening means eyes and ears on the speaker, a quiet mouth, and waiting for your turn. A good response answers what was actually said. At home we pass a turn object instead of a whole-class hand-raise routine.
Spend about 10 minutes taking short turns talking about two toys and answering one check question after each turn.

“When your child is in a group conversation at school or at the dinner table, do they listen while others are talking and wait for their turn before speaking?”
