Keep the board available where the learner can point, look, or select.
Model the words naturally without requiring the learner to choose one.
Respond to the learner's communication and allow other ways to express a feeling.

Use tip: Accept the learner's own way of communicating; do not require them to choose a feeling label or explain it.
