So many young learners are excited to engage with their peers and teachers in a school or class setting. But, this eagerness can quickly devolve into chaos if rules about speaking and taking turns speaking aren't implemented. In this book, readers encounter many examples of kids just like them raising their hands to ask and answer questions, to ask to go the bathroom, or otherwise communicate with grown-ups. Full-color photographs directly correlate to the low-ATOS text to aid reading comprehension.

Preschoolers are always reminded to "listen." But what does that mean? It means taking in what another person says quietly before responding, taking time to understand what someone is asking you to do, and it's often used as another way to say "follow these directions." The examples in this book help readers truly understand what listening is so they can implement it in their own classrooms, homes, and beyond. Low-ATOS text is achievable for new readers and correlated closely with full-color photographs.
