Below is a general skill sequence for helping learners receptively identify uppercase letters in a large, 2D array.
This skill area tunes in on receptively identifying uppercase letters in a large array. It's vital to check that the learner is fluent in basic scanning, basic matching, following gestural prompts, and basic receptive identification skills with common items. Fluency in this skill area lays the foundation for basic letter identification and opens the door for sight word identification and eventual reading and writing.
Treatment Plan Goal Ideas
This is a list of treatment plan goals. These are different from the goals you will find in the skill sequence below. Your treatment plan goals encompass any number of goals from the skill sequence. Sometime they will include multiple goals from the sequence (”Learner will label 5 toys”) and sometimes the treatment plan goal will be simply consist of a really important goal from the skill sequence (”Will label caregiver”). An analogy I like to use goes as follows: Each skill sequence goal (commonly known as a “target”) represent each stair in a flight of stairs. The treatment plan goal is the flight itself.
Treatment plan goal ideas for this particular skill area are as follows:
- Learner will receptively identify 5 uppercase letters or symbols when presented in an array of 15.
- Learner will receptively identify 10 uppercase letters or symbols when presented in an array of 15.
- Learner will receptively identify 15 uppercase letters or symbols when presented in an array of 15.
- Learner will receptively identify all 26 uppercase letters or symbols when presented in an array of 15.
Component Skills
Your learner may need to be fluent in these component skills first before introducing this goal/skill area. Component skills for this skill sequence may include skill areas that are fundamental to other areas. Fluency in the skill areas listed below may increase the likelihood that your learner will succeed in this skill sequence and those afterward.

Below is a possible skill sequence for working on increasing your learner’s ability to receptively ID uppercase letters. Note that every learner is different and that you likely will need to tweak and vary some programming to their needs.

Concurrent Skills
Working on these skills at the same time could help with goal mastery. Maybe your learner has mastered these skills already. Perhaps they are already listed as component skills above. That’s okay! Targeting other learning channels might help your learner.

Composite Skills
These are the possible next steps for learners who have mastered, or are mastering, the skills listed above. Note that new skill areas may require fluency in other component skills not listed above. Also, you can introduce composite skill sequences prematurely to keep your learner progressing, as generativity may occur earlier than expected.
