This resource is a tool for conducting observations to assess and improve teacher-student and student-student interactions, with a focus on open-ended questions and extended conversations to promote the development of student listening comprehension skill.
The Lexile Framework for Listening measures students’ listening skills using audio passages and comprehension questions that assess the students’ ability to identify the main idea, supporting details, and make inferences.
This resource requires the following modification to explicitly target listening comprehension: shift the burden of decoding/encoding onto the educator (i.e., the educator should read/write instead of the student(s)).
