Tips for Completing A New York State Listening Test
   
         * Listen carefully the first time the story is read.
      * Take careful notes the second time the story is read.
  

When you are listening carefully you...

  • place your eyes on the speaker
  • turn in the direction of the speaker
  • have nothing in your hands
  • think about what is happening in the story
  • make the pictures in your mind to create the story
 

What do you write down?

  
     * The characters
  * The setting (where & when)
  * The problem & solution
  * The main events (write them in order!)
  *  Any list of things or items
  

 

Remember:* Listen carefully for important information.

*Take notes the SECOND time the story is read.

*Do NOT read the questions until after hearing the story 2 times.
