60 illustrated cards to help students improve their listening and reading comprehension skills by making meaningful connections between sentences and pictures. Two sets of cards. Game ideas. Content cards. Answer key.
Understanding Sentences Fun Deck helps students improve their listening and reading comprehension by having them make meaningful connections between a sentence and a picture. Beginning with Set One (Cards 1-20), students look at the illustration (child throwing a stick to a dog) and listen to or read three sentences to find the sentence that describes the illustration (The dog is fetching a stick; The dog buries the stick; or The cat fetches a stick).
After mastering this set, students move to Set Two (Cards 21-60). Here they read one sentence (The fish swims in the cool pond) and find the matching illustration from a choice of three pictures (duck in a pond, fish in a fish tank, or fish in a pond). Students check their answers using the Super Duper Secret Decoder.
Great language activity for receptive and expressive skills work, but especially for weak receptive lang. Can pair w any game.

I bought this after finding that I was constantly borrowing it from my colleague! The fact that the pictures are extremely similar (only differing by one element) enhances both receptive and expressive acuity. After having the student choose the sentence that goes with the picture (set 1) or the picture that goes with the sentence (set 2), I am able to have them generate their own sentence based on changing one element, practicing different parts of speech (noun, adj, verb, etc.). This fun deck also aides in accurate visualization skills to aid comprehension.

Understanding Sentences
The students I work with love this activity when I pull it out. They think some of the sentences to choose from are funny and they love to use the secret decoder. Just another tool to use in my therapy sessions.

Great product
I've used this with several students since school started, It is a nice way to teach strategies. I ask why they didn't choose the other 2 answers and they have to explain.

Excellent product
I'm a ABA therapist and love using these with my kiddos I work with so far. Kids don't even have to be able to read yet to be able to use these, if used with an instructor. A great step to comprehension and task/visual attending.

There may be "an app for that" but sometimes there is nothing like having a physical flashcard. My students with autism and I use these cards with a dry erase marker in hand. They underline each important component of the sentence and we look to pair it with something in the picture through a series of Yes/No questions to choose the best item. It is great to see the lightbulb go on when they realize that part of the sentence CAN match to the picture, and as a whole it can still be an incorrect choice. There is definitely more than meets the eye with these cards. I'll be on the look out for "Set 2" when it comes out. Well worth the money.
