    Objective:

    The student will learn the names of objects by looking at pictures of the objects on a card and simultaneously listening to the spoken label of the same object.

    Skills Practiced:

    • Receptive language
    • Picture identification
    • Photo discrimination

    Materials Needed:

    People:

    • This lesson is designed for 1:1 instruction with a teacher or therapist.

    Set Up:

    Decide which cards you would like to work on with your students. The Language Builder Cards can be separated by the following categories, making it easy to work on related vocabulary words in this lesson:

    • Basic Stage Set
    • Foods
    • Animals
    • Vehicles
    • Clothing
    • Furniture
    • Toys
    • Everyday Objects
    • Colors
    • Shapesman-and-boy-using-language-builder-cards
     

    In this example, the teacher chose to use cards from the Everyday Objects category, but you can use any card(s) #1 – 301. Please note that for this activity (and all labeling activities using the Language Builder Cards), you should label the card by the word your student is most likely to hear and use in everyday speech. For example, say “sofa” rather than “couch,” or “TV” rather than “television.”

    Sit across from student so they can see image and you can see label.

    Procedures:

    1. Hold a card up so the image is facing the student.

    2. As the student looks at the card, say the name of the object they are looking at.

    3. Repeat with all cards of the chosen category.

    4. Shuffle and repeat.
