Make a workout out of listening! Working Out with Listening contains 50 quick and easy-to-use "workouts" that provide listening practice and reinforce listening skills. The three activities in this book include:
Recalling information.
Following directions.
Listening for details and main ideas.
Use these activities as "warm-ups" before lessons, "cool downs" after instruction, or as quick review exercises at school or at home. 130 pages (6" x 9").
My son looks forward to doing his "workout" with this book. The questions are straightforward and it doesn't take too long. He's willing to try even the challenging questions because he knows it won't drag on too long.

Working Out
These workouts have been great to use at the start of a session to get students "in tune" to better their listening skills. The record form is especially useful as another piece to consider when I need to informally assess a student's progress with a listening skill.I have also used them as home practice assignments.

MY DAUGHTER EXCERISES A LOT BECAUSE SHE LIKES TO. SHE HAS DOWN SYNDROME AND COULD BE HEAVY IF SHE DIDN'T WORK OUT. SHE KNOWS WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE FOR HER PHYSICALLY. RELATING EXCERSIZING HER LISTENING EFFORTS TO WORKING OUT SPHYSICALLY HAS HELPED HER IN ALL HER SUBJECTS. SHE CAN SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXCERSIZING AND BETTERMENT IN LISTENING AND REMEMBERING JUST LIKE HER PHYSICAL EXCERSIZING. THIS LITTLE BOOK IS VERY SIMPLE BUT THAT IS PROBABLY THE BEAUTY OF IT ... SMALL THINGS CAN ALLOW BIGGER BENEFITS THAN IMAGINED.

Good Ideas
Some of the activities are useful for a quick check of student listening skills. You can create more activities from the pattern in the book.

Quick and easy
I like the "work outs" in this book. They work great when I have a little bit of time left in a session and need something quick to fill that spot. The "workouts" range in difficulty and task allowing you to target a lot of different levels and skills.

The Working Out with Listening book is the perfect book for warming kids up using a drill based approach at the start of therapy. It's a great time saver in the school setting and has helped structure my language sessions!

I love this book as well as the whole Work Out series! They are easy to use saving me time with planning. The activities are quick allowing small group sessions to move right along without other students becoming antsy. I highly recommend this book if you target following directions and auditory skills at a mid-lower elementary level.

I enjoy your products and...
I enjoy your products and love your language games/activities. I would like more interactive products and language stimulating toys for early childhood. I work with many pre-kindergarten students and would benefit from a larger variety of products for children at this age. I love the fluency enhancing tools and the Magne Talk activities.
