Show and tell is a tried and true technique that teachers have used for years to build listening and speaking skills. It is a chance for learns to experience the attention of others and share a favorite item or tell a story. In this club, through the use of new show and tell topics each week, learners will find their voice as they learn to share their thoughts and feelings. They will also practice good listening skills as they listen to their peers. During class each learner will have the opportunity to share as well as listen to each other. Learners will be encouraged to ask questions of each other. Participation is encouraged, but learners are welcome to watch and listen until they are comfortable. Topics will change weekly, but may include: a picture of your favorite animal, something you would take to the beach, an item you found outside, etc. Your learner will enjoy this club so much, they won't even realize they are practicing social skills!
