Story Listen

What your child will figure out

• Listen to a hidden-text story scene and recall a specific spoken detail.
• Use the order of heard events to answer a sequence question.
• Infer meaning and vocabulary from clues in a spoken story.
• Transfer listening comprehension to fresh, adaptively generated stories without passage text.

The levels

1. Catch the first spark

   Predict what kind of clues the chosen topic may contain, listen to the opening, and recall one exact detail.

2. Follow the footprints

   Act on the next spoken scene by holding its events in order and selecting what happened in sequence.

3. Find the hidden glow

   Observe the story clues and explain an inference or a word's meaning without seeing the passage.

4. New-clue transfer

   Transfer recall, sequencing, and inference to the final unfamiliar scene while the words remain hidden.
