Spotlight On: Listening Ears and Looking Eyes

The student will show what paying attention looks like (eyes looking, ears listening, body still), follow a two-step direction, and stay with a short task until it is done. · 40 min

Warm-up — say this

“Your ears caught all those sounds because you were paying attention.”

Worked example

Grandpa is reading a story. Sara looks at him, listens and sits still. Is she paying attention?

Answer: Yes. Her eyes are looking, her ears are listening and her body is still.

A mistake students make

Paying attention means I can never move or look away, or I am being bad.

How the book fixes it

Explain that everyone's attention wanders, even grown-ups. That is normal. The skill is noticing and bringing your spotlight back. Short movement breaks are fine.

Note to the parent

Start with short focus times, about 3 to 5 minutes for this age, and add a minute at a time. Praise coming back to a task more than never getting distracted.

That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.

Practice checks. Our psychology workbooks teach.

Can a teacher or a tutor use these with a class?

Yes. Print and photocopy them for the students you teach. The only thing we ask is that you do not republish them as your own or sell them.

Marked beside each question on this page, so it prints as its own answer key. For a clean copy, click Hide answers before you print; click Show answers again to print your answer key.

What grade are these for?

Kindergarten. Every other grade from kindergarten to grade 8 has its own page, linked at the foot of this one. If your student finds these hard, try the grade below — that is normal and it is not a problem.

What do the paid workbooks add?

These questions check a skill. The workbook teaches it: a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, two or three worked examples, the mistakes students actually make on that skill and how to correct each one, and an explanation beside every answer rather than a bare key.
