[senco-forum] Developing listening skills in secondary pupils

Hi Bill

For some 10% of the population those who have some degree of Auditory
Processing Disorder, developing listening skills can vary from very
difficult to virtually impossible.
But as Effie has mentioned repetition can help as memory together with other
learning style skills can work around these issues.

We have just added a Learning Styles Summary web page to the APDUK site.
The Summary page lists all of the article links and downloads that we have
included in our recently launched Learning Style Section, APDDUK maintains
an Information Sheet section usually for versions of web site pages that are
more visual impairment friendly, and for some who are Auditory learners and
have problems using most of the APDUK web site which is designed to be APD
or visual learner friendly.

I know that may of the forum are on holiday but I am preparing my "helpful
hint" sheets for staff. From reading individual pupils reports many staff
have said that certain kids have poor listening skills. 
Does anyone have any tips for developing listening skills in mainstream
secondary classrooms?

Thanks

Lorraine
