We all do well know that reading is an important skill that children should develop to be able to face and "conquer" the world.
Developing listening skill is just as important but many tend to pay little attention to it if not ignore or disregard.
It is crucial, therefore, to teach children to listen since listening is one way to learn.
Children can become good listeners if they are taught how to listen carefully, one way of which is by avoiding unnecessary movements or talking to their seatmates when the teacher is talking.
Hearing is not the same as listening.
Hearing is a sense, a physical ability.
Listening is a skill that certainly equals to understanding.
If you just hear, you will not understand, but if you listen, you will understand.
If you want your children to become successful and more productive in their chosen career someday, you have to improve their listening abilities starting at a young age.
Day care centers should, therefore, own a boom box.
Story-telling is a good way of practicing their listening skills, but it is much better to let them hear different kinds and types of voices too, from time to time, with the use of a boom box because if you just let them listen to your voice every day, they will probably lose their interest after sometime.
A boom box or most commonly known as a radio-cassette is a good way of training children on their listening skill.
There are a lot of cassettes or CD's that are recorded with different kinds of lessons for children.
You can choose something that you think is appropriate and let them listen to it.
After doing so, allow them to ask you questions if they want to clarify things out; you may do the same to them, too.
In this way, you will be able to determine which child listened, which did not, who is just inattentive and ignore what he or she hears and who is a fast-learner and who is not.
