Listen and Wait

Know what listening and waiting look like.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child knows what listening and waiting look like. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 10

Listening means we look at the person and stay quiet while they talk.
If we want a turn to talk, we raise a hand and wait.
Waiting also means we don't grab. Snack comes when a grown-up says it is time.
Your turn! Shouting while a friend talks is not listening. Looking at the teacher is listening.
Try it with a grown-up! Tell a one-minute story. Your child listens, then tells one back.
