Story Grammar Elements
100

This scaffold is when you prompt by giving the child two choices to answer your question.

Binary Choice - (give example if you want a two-word utterance response)

100

This EMT strategy is when you pause and wait approximately 5 seconds before responding

Time Delay - provide an example of pausing during a routine and visual choice)

100

For this strategy, your feedback to the child's utterance is to only supply what is missing.

Reduced Model (Give example - target 3rd person singular verbs)

100

This is an intervention approach in which you work with the parent or caregiver and coach them on how to facilitate or stimulate language development.

Indirect Intervention

100

This is the person or thing the story is about

Character

200

When using Focused Stimulation, where in your utterance should the target be and how should you say the target within that utterance?

Target should be at the beginning/end of the utterance and said with emphasis.

200

If a child has an MLU of 2.0, what should be your modeled length of language?

Half 2.0 - Half 3.0 (provide an example while playing with Mr. Potato Head)

200

For this strategy, you narrate when you are doing while modeling the targeted language component.

Self-Talk (Provide Example - target "agent/action")

200

This type of direct intervention is when you model targets repeatedly while using self-talk and parallel talk within play.

Focused Stimulation

200

This is how the story gets wrapped up.

Ending

300

You place an attractive toy in front of a baby, look at it, and comment on it.   You may gently turn the baby's head to look at the toy. This is used to establish which type of prelinguistic skill?

Joint/Shared Attention

300

Choosing appropriate toys and keeping the toys in sight by out-of-reach is what type of EMT strategy?

Environmental Arrangement

300

This strategy is when you provide the narrative to what the child is doing to model language.

Parallel talk (Provide example - object + location)

300

This is an intervention approach in which you work directly with the child and provide treatment.

Direct Intervention

300

This is the emotional response to the story's problem

Feeling

400

This scaffold is when you have the child finish the utterance with the targeted language component.

Cloze Procedure - (Give an example while reading a book with the target--progressive 'ing' verb)

400

This EMT strategy is when every form of communication is followed by an adult response.

Responsiveness - provide example

400

For this strategy you repeat the child's correct use of the target.

Reauditorization (Provide example - target regular past-tense verbs)

400

While providing indirect intervention, we help parents identify teachable moments during everyday activities. Provide an example

Daily activity - (provide examples of 2-word utterances that could be modeled by the parent)

400

This is what the character does to fix the problem

Action

500

How often should Milieu prompts be utilized during a 20 minute play-based session?

6-10 times (why?)

500

This type of EMT prompt is when you ask "What do you want?"

Open prompt - (Other prompts:  Provide an example of a choice prompt and "say" prompt)

500

For this strategy you respond to the child's utterance by adding language to their utterance, drawing emphasis on the target.

Expansion (Provide example - target auxiliary verbs - is/are)

500

When choosing target words for a toddler's first lexicon, what types of words should be modeled.

Used in different contexts, important to the child, and can by manipulated by the child.

500

This is what changes the character's "ho-hum" day.
