SPARK Community Helper Sequencing Cards

Spark Community Helpers Sequencing Cards includes 12 story sets with 4 cards in each set which are designed specifically to encourage children to observe picture details and to improve their picture interpretation skills. 

The cards can be used to enhance the ability of children to retell stories, sequence pictures, problem-solve, as well as prompts for 'wh' basic questions. 

Each picture scene is illustrated specifically to target higher levels of thinking and to improve proficiency in problem-solving, responding to 'why' and 'how' questions, analyzing and comparing, inferring and predicting, and reasoning skills. 

Each box contains an answer key with a question guide for each picture. 

Durable, high-quality, colorful 4.5" x 4.5" picture cards. 

Ages 4 and up.

How It Works:

Individual picture cards can be used on their own or as a complete picture scene set to target many language goals including sentence formulation, use of nouns, verbs and verb tenses, pronouns, adjectives, prepositions, temporal concepts, main idea, exposure to basic concepts, and more. Below are a few different ways Spark Cards can be used, and you can create your own ideas as well!

Articulation:

• Circle objects with target sounds in the picture scenes. Practice the words or phrases. Have the child tell a story about the scenes.

Expressive Language:

• Increasing Vocabulary: Label basic vocabulary words and objects in pictures. Describe, categorize and expound on the concepts.
• Sentence Structure: Have the child formulate a sentence for each picture card. Give the child a word to use to formulate sentences. Work on increasing MLU by increasing the length and complexity of the sentences.
