Lend Us Your Ears: Listen and Learn (Literacy Collection) (Literacy Collection S.)

by Rosemary Sage (Author)

Synopsis

Teachers frequently complain that, when they talking to students in class, information goes in one ear and out of the other, with nothing happening inbetween! Listening has been neglected in education, in spite of it being the most frequently used skill in learning. This unique and practicle book seeks to redress this situation by treating listening as a thinking activity, and developing a step-by-step approach to its improvement, using knowledge about how the brain works.
