The Bees and the Bears, a critical elements curriculum, trains linguistic rules for critical elements in the construction of noun phrases, prepositional phrases, simple sentences, compound phrases, and complex sentences. It may be used with ESOL students, cochlear implant clients, the hearing-impaired population including the profoundly hearing impaired, and any client with delayed or disordered language.
Test Structure:
While no beginning vocabulary or reading level is required, the critical elements training vocabulary consists of four key nouns (bee, bear, bell, bow), four colors (yellow, orange, purple, brown), two sizes (big, little), two places of location (chair, table), two locations (on, under), and a number of articles and determiners (a, one, two, some, etc.).
In addition to training the use of critical elements in various language structures, the vocabulary is used to train language concepts dealing with: Orientation/Rank Order/Location in Space; Quantity/Plurality/Math Language; Negation (stating what is not there); and Expletives (another way to say it).
