​Lesson One

​As human beings, we have many important ways to convey and understand information as we communicate. We are born with ears and never learn to hear - how to say it. As kids, we grow up learning how to speak by listening to the people who are close to us and imitating others.

​Reading and listening are receptive skills. While listening and

reading share many comprehension processes, there are differences in the way the information is processed.

​

​In today’s lesson you will practice your listening skills by applying the

listening strategies based on purpose.
