Mastering Basic Concepts and Specific Words is designed for students who need assistance in fully understanding the meaning of certain basic concepts and specific words.
Basic concepts and other specific words have a single meaning within a statement. Unless the specific words are fully understood, they cannot be shifted to another situation with total meaning. For example the student may identify the longest table in a classroom after hearing this table identified over and over again as the longest, but may not be able to identify the longest pencil or the longest shelf because the actual meaning of longest has not been established.
The four-level resource is designed to teach broad understanding of certain basic concepts and other specific words. The text on each page is to be read aloud to the students. Students should not be asked to read the text as it has been designed to be presented through demonstrations verbal explanations and directions, and verbal interaction between the professional and students.
