AND
BASIC
Adults teach children to listen, first and foremost, by being good listeners themselves (Malaguzzi, 1994). Young children are active and relatively inexperienced as group members, so they seldom function well in large groups that leave them waiting to participate. They will have better chance to succeed as listeners if the teacher keeps the group small and makes sure that they stay involved.
Managing Classroom The teacher needs to establish some inviting, comfortable routines that get students focused, such as with a real object, a brainteaser, a song, choral speaking or creative dramatics.
Whatever routine as a teacher we choose, select something that attracts the childrens attention and requires their attentive listening in order to participate. The most important step in getting children to listen to directions is to make the directions very clear in the first place.
If teachers communicate more clearly and check for understanding periodically, childrens apparent inability to follow instructions will diminish.

There are so many advantages by using
audiobooks but we have to realize that reading has its own importance. Audiobooks is available in certain times or place that impossible for us to open an ordinary books. Audiobooks can be very inspiring for the children
Rimes A rime is the pattern at the end of the word For example: -in, -et, -op, -oat, -ight,-all, -ope, -eal, and so on. The idea is that if phonics elements are taught directly, children will recognize them when they hear and see them(Moseley & Poole, 2001)

information during listening and reading is common strategy to develop and improve comprehension and memory (Harvey & Goudvis, 2000) The directed listening/ thinking activity (DLTA) is way to promote childrens listening comprehension and ability to make inferences(Stauffer, 1975) Alverman, 1991, point out that we can combine the DLTA with discussion web to gain better result.

Prior reading a book aloud to the children, the teacher identifies the gist or underlying message of the story and writes single question to focus the childrens listening comprehension. Students respond to the discussion web statement by working with their partners for approximately five minutes. When time is up, students form groups of four by having one pair join another, and then they present each members opinion and justification. A spokesperson from each group presents the group views. After discussion, students respond to additional questions. Upon completion, comparisons are drawn between the ending of the story and the students predictions.
