by Kristen Wilson and Elizabeth Sautter
Being a good listener means much more than just hearing what is said with the ears. It is important to break down ALL of the components of listening, to teach your kids to listen with their eyes, hands, feet, brains, hearts – indeed their whole bodies!
Designed to stimulate discussions at home and at school about how we listen as a member of our family and in groups, Whole Body Listening Larry at Home teaches children with fun lessons wonderfully illustrated to bring the concepts to life. This book can read with ALL younger students by parents, teachers, etc. The book can be read with the child and the child can then read the book on his or her own, with siblings, friends, grandparents Developed from years of using Whole Body Listening Larry to teach children in their practice, speech-language pathologists Kristen Wilson and Elizabeth Sautter worked with illustrator Eric Hutchison to make their best lessons work for even the wiggliest child! Therapists have praised this book: “Larry At Home is a creative and fun way to explore Whole Body Listening. Kristen and Elizabeth have given us a great tool for teachers, therapists and parents to use to teach the challenging concept listening and attending.
The illustrations and the simplicity of the story make it a fun and engaging book and will prompt great discussions with students. I can’t wait to start reading this to my young students!” – Stephanie Madrigal, co-author of Superflex…A Superhero Social Thinking Curriculum
