*Class max is 4 learners to allow for more individualized attention.* 

Do your learners have difficulty actually listening to what they hear? Do they remember the details? In this class, learners we will begin to focus on the importance of listening with understanding for details. This class is for 11-14 year olds. There are other separate "Listen and Hear" classes available for 6-8 year olds and 9-12 year olds.

In the first session, we will discuss using listening skills in different situations and the difference between hearing and listening. Next the learners will practice using their ability to listen for detail by following the teachers verbal step-by-step instructions to complete sequential paper and pencil type activities. Each task will be checked immediately for accuracy to help learners understand the expectations. Learners will be told to listen carefully for details the first time each instruction is given, but they will also be encouraged to ask for a repetition if needed. 

Each session will involve the same type of verbal and written activities, however, the vocabulary and concentration level required to complete these activities will become increasingly challenging. 

Brain Fitness exercises, that might involve physical movement, will also be included. Class size is kept very small to allow for more individualized attention.
