Shira Karpel & Shayna Gaunt
About this episode

A member of our Bx Resource membership community raised a question about teaching receptive language skills, specifically receptive labels, as the strategies she tried weren’t working. Here, we cover how to teach receptive language skills and discrimination to our learners. We go over the steps to take when building a receptive language program, starting with finding things that are meaningful to our learners.

We discuss the importance of teaching across categories and how to mix things up so our learners don’t get stuck. We also talk about how to customize programs for different types of learners and hacks we’ve used to overcome challenges.

What’s Inside:

  • How to teach receptive language skills 
  • The importance of teaching across categories
  • Hacks to overcome program challenges
