Digital Describing and Defining

This digital (Boom Cards™️) resource targets simple describing and defining (nouns/objects) using attributes and categories for language therapy.

On each slide are icon-based answer choices. Your student should drag and drop the correct one into the sentence to describe or define the object.

It includes two levels as follows:

Level 1 – Describing Using 2-3 Attributes

This level targets describing with attributes/adjectives including empty, round, heavy, broken, tall, bright, wet, and old.

In the first section of level one, you will practice describing real pictures with two different attributes. For example, you might describe the toy as “round and colorful”. In the second section, the difficulty increases and you will describe the pictures using three different attributes. For example, you might describe a box as “empty, brown, and open”.

Level 2 – Defining Using Category + 1-2 Attributes

This level targets simple defining building off the skill of describing. A consistent sentence structure is used (“A _____ is a ______ that _______.”) so your students gain confidence with how to produce a simple definition.

In the first section of level two, you will create definitions with the category (group) plus one attribute including function, location, color, action, parts, or shape. In the second section, the difficulty increases as you will create definitions with the category plus two attributes.

Last, I included an informal assessment/more advanced option (15 slides) which you can also use for carryover of these targeted skills. It works great for seeing how your students do with a lot less supports as they contain no icons, no answer choices, and no visuals.

The resource starts using real pictures and ends using simple icons so it is appropriate for a wide variety of ages and language levels.

There are 97 slides (in a Boom Card™️ format only) included in total.
