Listening Comprehension Probes Editable

About this resource

Everything inside: 24 pages · 3 original read-aloud passages with 12 comprehension questions · 3 equivalent probe forms · a 10-item listening behavior observation checklist · a within-one-sitting auditory fatigue check · a data log and trend graph · a caseload summary · a ready-to-send family update · a simplified classroom note · a 19-starter phrase bank · a binder cover and 4 cut-out divider tabs · a worked, invented example.

The store carries reading comprehension and a general speech-therapy data-sheet pack, but nothing for LISTENING comprehension on its own — a different skill from reading comprehension, because the passage is read aloud by the adult and the student never sees the text. This file gives an SLP or interventionist three original, invented passages built for that purpose, a rubric that scores each answer correct, partially correct or incorrect (never a percentile or age-based score), an observation checklist for listening behaviors that stays out of clinical labels, and a check for whether comprehension holds up across one sitting instead of only across separate weeks.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 24 pages, 609 type-in fields

Prepare To Give The Probes

• Binder Cover and Divider Tabs — a spine/cover card, 4 cut-out tabs matching the file's sections, and an 8-row "where to find things" index
• How This Pack Works — how the weekly-probe routine and the within-sitting fatigue check share the same three passages, plus a 3-row table comparing what each of the file's three data-collection tools measures
• Listening Comprehension Goal, Rubric and Directions — a sample IEP-style goal (invented, every bracket editable), a baseline table (median of the first three probes), the scoring rubric (Correct = 1 point, Partially correct = 0.5, Incorrect = 0), and a 2-row benchmark table
• Passage Bank — three original, invented, grade-neutral passages (52, 58 and 57 words), each with 2 literal and 2 inferential questions, plus a 3-row table comparing the passages and two reading-tip cards — for the adult reading aloud only, never shown to the student

Track, Report And Share

• Listening Accuracy Data Log — 12 dated rows, one passage per row
• Listening Accuracy Trend Graph — a scaled 0–100% grid plus a 12-row log table
• Caseload Summary — 12 students by 8 probes, baseline and criterion percent, trend and decision columns
• Family Update — Listening at Home — a ready-to-send communication page: what was listened to, how it went in plain words, a practice idea, and a 7-day practiced table
• Classroom Listening Observation Note — two half-page notes per sheet, cut apart: a checkbox, one sentence, no codes, for the classroom teacher or paraprofessional
• Progress Note Phrase Bank — 19 observable-language starters across 5 groups (accuracy, behavior, within-sitting pattern, next steps, the quarterly-report sentence), every one ending in a blank pulled from a data sheet in the file
• A Filled-In Probe Set and Log — a worked, invented example (Imani R., third grade) with a 3-row weekly log, a 3-row fatigue check and a 3-row observation excerpt, every number cross-checked against the arithmetic behind it

Plus a Start Here quick-start, a 3-section contents page with real page thumbnails, 3 section dividers, and a "what's next" back page.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in a PDF reader, click a field, type, save. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc, or an Excel workbook, and it does not calculate a percent or draw the graph for you. The three passages print for the student's ear only — nothing on the Passage Bank page needs to be a field.

It is not a norm-referenced or standardized test, and it is not a screening tool for any clinical category. The observation checklist records what was seen, never why, and does not sort a student into a label — a team concern about a pattern belongs to your district's own procedure, on a blank line this file provides. It is not Speech Therapy Data Collection Sheets Editable, the full SLP caseload pack (articulation, language trials, group sessions and more) — use that file for the rest of a caseload's data and this one when listening comprehension needs to be measured on its own. It is also not IEP Goal Tracking Editable, the classroom teacher's general goal tracker; the two pair well for a student whose IEP names both a listening goal and a classroom goal.

No age, eligibility or IDEA-timeline claim anywhere; no health data is pre-filled, and the example student (Imani) is invented and named as such on page 23.

Who This Is For

School SLPs, interventionists and special education teachers who need listening comprehension measured on its own, distinct from reading comprehension, with a rubric, an observation tool for listening behaviors, and a way to check whether a student's comprehension holds up across a longer listening task.

If You Want More

Speech Therapy Data Collection Sheets Editable is the 26-page SLP caseload pack: articulation, language trials, group sessions and more. IEP Goal Tracking Editable is the 24-page classroom side of a goal: tracker, graph, decision rules, report writer. Semantic Word Relationships and Word Meaning Progress Monitoring Editable (22 pages) covers the other half of receptive language: synonyms, antonyms, categories and figurative language.
