As an LSL strategy “auditory first” is telling before showing.  It means making sure their devices are functioning and that plenty of meaningful listening opportunities are available throughout the day.

“Expansion” is rephrasing what a child says in a more correct, complete, or complex way.  When we model longer, correct phrases, we create more listening opportunities!
