Auditory Processing Super Pack

Master the higher-level skills of listening and understanding!

Take your auditory training to the next level with the Auditory Processing Super Pack, a comprehensive 114-page resource designed for students who have mastered basic listening but are ready for the “next step” in language comprehension. This pack moves beyond simple recall, challenging students to categorize, analyze, and separate complex information into higher-level language structures.

Comprehensive learning made simple and accessible!

We believe that auditory processing shouldn’t happen in a vacuum. To support students who are stronger visual learners, every lesson includes detailed pictures to provide a visual anchor. This dual-coding approach allows students to use their visual strengths to bridge the gap as they build and strengthen their auditory processing skills.

Covers a wide range of higher-level language targets:

• Main Idea & Details: Learning to distinguish the “big picture” from the supporting story elements.

• Inference & Subtext: Grasping subtle or “hidden” information that isn’t explicitly stated.

• Predicting Outcomes: Using provided auditory clues to determine what happens next.

• Logical Reasoning: Finding cause-and-effect relationships and forming sound conclusions.

• Verbal Expression: Strengthening the ability to explain “why” and justify reasoning.

Targets key auditory-cognitive goals:

• Information Synthesis: Moving from “hearing” words to “processing” complex concepts.

• Auditory Memory: Retaining structured details long enough to analyze and categorize them.

• Higher-Level Comprehension: Mastering the nuances of language that are essential for academic success.

• Critical Thinking: Training the brain to organize incoming auditory data logically.

How to Use:

1. The Auditory Input: Read the lesson or story details aloud to the student.

2. The Visual Bridge: Allow the student to look at the provided pictures to help ground the information they just heard.

3. The Categorization: Work through the prompts to separate the “main idea” from the “details” or to identify the “cause and effect.”

4. The Explanation: Challenge the student to explain how they reached their conclusion, reinforcing the higher-level language categories.
