Listening for Basic Concepts All Year Round (An Active Listening Program For Teaching Basic Concepts)

Brennan Bear and his friends may be darling, but the concepts they teach in Listening for Basic Concepts All Year 'Round are dazzling! Brennan takes language concepts and teaches them throughout the year. Each month's theme and concepts are introduced in a story about Brennan's adventures and are followed by listening comprehension questions and listening sheets. At the end of each month, students take home letters and worksheets to show their families the spatial, quantity, and attribute concepts they've learned...86 in all! Concepts include: * next to, away from * through, around * most, fewest * widest, narrowest * row, first, next, last * several, some, nor, many * almost, empty, full * beginning, middle, end After each quarter, a concept check is given to chart your students' progress. What a great way to show parents their children's progress during conferences! Listening for Basic Concepts All Year 'Round fits into your classroom with the following fun, month-by-month themes: * September: Going to School, At the Farm * October: Magic Show, Halloween * November: A Walk in the Woods, Thanksgiving * December: Star Student, Christmas * January: Winter Fun, Brennan's Birthday * February: President, Valentine Hearts * March: Lions, Lambs & Bears, St. Patrick's Day * April: Spring Weather, Easter Eggs * May: A Day at the Zoo, Play Ball In, out, over, and under were never this much fun! Your students will love these pages of "beary" delightful art and stories that teach theme-based concepts and vocabulary.
