    Stop and Observe

    Listening to children talk without frequent interruptions provides an opportunity for children to develop relevant language and enables practitioners to understand children’s current language and communication skills

    Listen

    Model good listening skills by making eye contact with the speaker, demonstrate that you are listening through your body language, facial expressions and comments.

    Model

    Model language by repeating and/or rephrasing what you have heard. Ask relevant questions, if appropriate. Adapt your responses to level of the child and give ample time for them to extend their spoken communication. Help children to enlarge their vocabulary through the structuring of sentences appropriate to the child’s language skills

    Children need to be reminded of good listening skills

    Ears – Good listening – remember to listen to the person who is speaking

    Eyes – Good looking – remember to look at the person who is talking

    Sitting – Good sitting – remember to focus attention on what is being said.

    Use a cuddly toy and some laminated pictures of ears, eyes and sitting as prompts to remind the children of what they need to remember.
