FAQ
How do I use the Good Listening Rules Cards?
⌄
A grown-up reads each rule aloud with younger children. Hang the poster and practice the four rules before every lesson, or hand out the cards to remind individual children.
What are the Good Listening Rules Cards?
⌄
Two pages after the cover. Page 1 has 4 numbered cards to cut out: Good Sitting, Good Looking, Good Listening and Good Thinking, each with a small picture and one short rule. Page 2 is a poster, How to Be a Good Listener, that repeats the four rules with body, eyes, ears and brain.
Can I use the Good Listening Rules Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade behavior, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade listening skills resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are listening skills resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these listening skills resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
