• Concepts and conversations (ages 3 1/2 - 5): Activities are directed toward refining conversational skills, expanding vocabulary and syntax, and developing basic concepts and early categorization.
• Sequences and scenarios (ages 4 1/2 - 6): Activities support the acquisition of narrative skills, including increased sentence complexity, sequencing, story-telling, following directions and answering questions.
• Developing decontextualization (ages 5 1/2 - 9): Activities focus on the organization and comprehension of complete, coherent messages.
