Simplify
When giving directions, use each target word three times in a row. For example, place a red napkin on the bed, place a red napkin on the floor, place a red napkin on your head, or place a red napkin on a chair. This will help to identify the meaning of on. After using the word on, proceed three times in a row with the target word top. Next, give three directions for high and finally three directions for low.
