Strategy: Listen for Transitions

  • Transitions are words that show how information is organized.
  • Common transition words are first, next, in conclusion.
  • When you hear a transition word, you know the speaker is giving a new idea.

Listen and take notes.

The speaker will talk about 3 reasons.
Listen for the transition words first, second, third.
You can use a format like this to help you organize the ideas.
