SLlr/E3.1

Listen for and follow the gist of explanations, instructions, narratives and conversations in different contexts
(a) Know how to listen for the gist, making use of their own knowledge, context clues, linking words and sequence markers
(b) Understand that listening on the phone can be more demanding than face-to-face listening (because there is usually less knowledge of the context and no visual clues, so there is more reliance on hearing)
