. Stop Talking
“If we were supposed to talk more than we listen, we would have
two tongues and one ear.” Mark Twain.
Don't talk, listen. When somebody else is talking listen to what
they are saying, do not interrupt, talk over them or finish their
sentences for them. Stop, just listen. When the other person
has finished talking you may need to clarify to ensure you have
received their message accurately.
2. Prepare Yourself to Listen
Relax. Focus on the speaker. Put other things out of mind. The
human mind is easily distracted by other thoughts – what’s for
lunch, what time do I need to leave to catch my train, is it going
to rain – try to put other thoughts out of mind and concentrate on
the messages that are being communicated.
3. Put the Speaker at Ease
Help the speaker to feel free to speak. Remember their needs
and concerns. Nod or use other gestures or words to encourage
them to continue. Maintain eye contact but don’t stare – show
you are listening and understanding what is being said.

9. 4. Remove Distractions
Focus on what is being said: don’t doodle,
shuffle papers, look out the window, pick
your fingernails or similar. Avoid
unnecessary interruptions. These
behaviours disrupt the listening process and
send messages to the speaker that you are
bored or distracted.
5. Empathise
Try to understand the other person’s point of
view. Look at issues from their perspective. Let
go of preconceived ideas. By having an open
mind we can more fully empathise with the
speaker. If the speaker says something that you
disagree with then wait and construct an
argument to counter what is said but keep an
open mind to the views and opinions of others.

Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding
symbols in order to construct or derive meaning (reading
comprehension). It is a means of language acquisition, of
communication, and of sharing information and ideas.
Like all language, it is a complex interaction between the
text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior
knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language
community which is culturally and socially situated. The
reading process requires continuous practice,
development, and refinement.
Readers use a variety of reading strategies to assist with
decoding (to translate symbols into sounds or visual
representations of speech) and comprehension. Readers
may use morpheme, semantics, syntax and context clues
to identify the meaning of unknown words. Readers
integrate the words they have read into their existing
framework of knowledge or schema (schemata theory).
Other types of reading are not speech based writing
systems, such as music notation or pictograms. The
common link is the interpretation of symbols to extract
the meaning from the visual notations.
