RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE

We work with children to help develop the tools necessary to understand language in both the verbal and written form to support in:

​

• Understanding “wh” and yes/no questions

• Following directions-simple or complex, multistep directions and following classroom routines

• Identifying concepts such big/small, under/over, next to, behind, in/on, wet/dry

• Understanding language in context

• Word knowledge/understanding new vocabulary

• Understanding figurative language (language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation such as “it’s raining cats and dogs”)

• Reading comprehension to answer questions about stories

• Processing linguistic information
