Build inferencing and categorization skills with vibrant, real-life visuals!

The Speech Corner Photo Cards for Basic Inferences & Subsequent Categories are designed to help students sharpen their ability to draw conclusions and classify information based on visual and contextual clues. This no-prep tool is ideal for developing two essential language skills in one engaging format.

Infer and categorize in one activity!

Each photo card prompts students to make a basic inference based on what they see—then take it a step further by identifying the category the item or situation belongs to. This dual-target format helps learners connect the dots between observation, logic, and language.

Targets critical language skills:

• Making simple inferences from visual cues

• Naming and identifying categories

• Strengthening reasoning and verbal expression

• Expanding vocabulary and semantic relationships

Perfect for:

• Speech therapy and language intervention

• Critical thinking development

• Classroom or small group instruction

• 1:1 therapy or home practice

• ESL/ELL learners building language flexibility

Built for visual learners:

Real-life photographs make abstract language tasks concrete and accessible, while follow-up prompts promote meaningful discussion and reflection.

Includes:

✔️ 50 high-quality photo cards
