Thanks so much for this site. I am an ESL teacher , currently working with a “mild to severe ” synonym continuum. ( “annoyed, angry,enraged). I now have new ideas, and it’s my hope my student will enjoy this as she learns . Thanks again. – Island mom

How did you gather information to determine the developmental order?
Comment by Jill — - @ 2:02 pm
At the time I created the lists, maybe 10 years ago, I used the Nevada Education Benchmarks, I think it was Ohio’s benchmarks, and much of just my own judgment. It was not meant to be scientifically based – which I don’t think something like that even can be – but a loose, flexible guide to language therapy.
