Advanced Listening Skills

For today’s practice you will play more complicated concentration listening games. Try Exploratorium: Listening Concentration Games. You have to really listen to the directions on these.

Now you’re ready to see how good a listener you are while someone else is talking. Listen to this audio interview with Skulduggery Pleasant. He’s a wise-cracking, classic car driving detective, an impeccable dresser…and a skeleton with magical abilities! If you haven’t ready his book, your missing out! Look at his Blog Post.

• Because there aren’t any other good skeletons
• Because there’s way too many bad guys
• Because  everyone will suspect a skeleton
