Listening to Others
Listen to others when they are speaking — looking at the speaker, waiting until they finish, and showing they have heard by responding to what was said rather than just talking about their own ideas
Suggested ages 5–7
Learning journey
Your child is developing essential friendship skills — learning to ask for help when needed, understanding what makes a good friend, listening to others properly, and sharing and taking turns in group activities.
Evidence of understanding
- Face the speaker and maintain attention while someone else is talking
- Wait until the other person has finished before responding
- Respond to what was actually said rather than changing the subject to their own idea
Assessment prompt
When a friend is telling Listening to Others about their weekend, does Listening to Others actually listen and ask questions about it — rather than immediately jumping in to talk about their own weekend?
