Get all the visuals and interactive practice your kids need to master describing with this huge, visually-based packet! You’ll target categories, describing, functions, comparing/contrasting, WH questions, and SO MUCH MORE.
This packet teaches the skills necessary for describing items in isolation, keeping your students successful!
Easily teach and target the following describing concepts:
- Categories
- Colors
- Parts
- Location
- Size
- Function
Included in this packet is:
- 110 icon sized item cards (for describing throughout the packet)
- Visuals, visuals, visuals and more visuals
- Sorting mats
- Worksheets with a multiple choice option (can use worksheets as cut and glue sheets or laminate/Velcro for continued re-use)
- Card visuals for describing
- Describing mini books
- 10 worksheets for each skill (category, color, parts, location, size, function) and 10 worksheets for skill discrimination (with category, color, parts, location & size targeted on one sheet)
I’ve found that my clients do best with mass practice, visuals, and interactive materials. This is why I created this packet! I hope it helps you! I’ve also found it useful for the clients on your caseload who are or plan to utilize AAC as it teaches categories of items using icon sized visuals.
To learn more about how and why I use this resource, check out my blog post all about early describing and categories!
Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have loved this resource:
♥ ”I am always looking for easy to use activities with my preschool students. This is great when working on categorization skills! You can target all kinds of goals, sentence expansion, labeling, articulation you name it!” – Emily H.
♥ ”LOVE this resource!!! It is so comprehensive and breaks down the skill of describing in an easy to understand way! Love all of the visuals and different activities included. It takes a bit of prep time, but once it is all put together, it is well worth it! Another wonderful product from one of my favorite TPT sellers!” – The Speech Whisperer
♥ ”I appreciate how it scaffolds up to meet the child where they are at. Describing can be so challenging for kiddos and this is a perfect way to teach and ease them in.” – Alexis L.

This is a very practical and comprehensive packet to use with the EET. Of course it can be used on its own, but I really apprecitate being able to reinforce the concepts I have taught my students using the EET. I also really like how you included some mini-books to “pull it all together.” Just a note – the whale mini-book has a typo- whale is replaced with tree (it did make my students laugh when they caught it:)) Again love your work!!

Ali H. –
Awesome resource!
Abigail C. –
This resource is excellent for early language learners, as it targets increasing vocabulary, utterance length, and can be used as targets for receptive language goals (answering questions, identification, etc.). I have enjoyed using it with my preschool-aged clients, as I have made some of the pages (those with the description webs) into a page where they can use a dry-erase marker to draw a line between the picture and the descriptive picture. I will say that some of the pages were confusing in their purpose, such as the pages with the large blank boxes. I also would have liked for there to be enough duplicates of each target description (i.e., location), to place on top of the choices in the initial sentence construction page. I tried to make duplicate icons for my kids to take on and off and ‘build’ the sentence, and was unable to in some of the different pieces, but not all. For example, I could duplicate all of the colors, and make them into choices, but could not do this for location or function.
Any guidance on how to better use the different pages for pre-school age children to make it as interactive as possible? Gotta keep those little hands busy!
MARGARET D –

Each section is carefully designed and laid out with lots of opportunities for TEACHING these elements of vocabulary in addition to incorporating repeated practice. I will also be using some of these worksheets as baseline assessment/ progress monitoring tools.

Stacie K. –
My students were engaged and enjoyed this activitiy.
Chasity O. –
Great!
Shelby E. –
One of my most used resources!
Tara M. –
This does a great job of breaking down how to describe a variety of objects in a variety of ways! I wish that it came with a digital option with slides to make it easier to use with remote students and to help limit the amount of pictures on a page for students that are easily distractible but overall it does a great job helping me target describing goals.
Let’s Build Language- Jaclyn Watson –
This was the staple describing/categorizing resource I NEEDED! So thorough and will get a lot of use!

This is a great resource for my students.

I really appreciated this resource with transition from virtual to in-person sessions. I used them online but they were even better in person as visuals for teaching descriptions. I specifically use the webs and categories pages the most. My kiddos with LD really benefitted from the visuals when practicing descriptions using EET.
danielle R. –
GREAT RESOURCE!
Tess C. –
Amazing resource. Thank you!
Julia A. –
I absolutely loved using this resource with my students. It was so easy to adapt for my students who needed more visual supports but it had great pictures/structure to begin with! When I work on categorization skills with my students, particularly those who need AAC supports, I like to use very different materials to make sure they are generalizing the concepts and this was a great resource for them!
Jessica N. –
Love all of your resources 🙂
JULIE R. –
What. A. Resource!!!! So comprehensive and so USEABLE with all my students! Thank you for giving me an outline for progressing through describing!
The Mobile SLP –
This is such an amazing resource!! It is very comprehensive! I typically use EET to work on describing, but I have a few students that aren’t quite able to grasp EET. This resource is going to be incredibly helpful for those students, plus it will be an excellent supplement for EET as well. Thank you so much for making such a comprehensive, high-quality resource!

Olivia D. –
This is a great hands on activity

This package is perfect because it targets multiple aspects of categorizing, not just “Name something from X category” or “What does not belong”. I can also use it for students whoa re struggling with describing based on attributes. Wonderful resource.
Amanda D. –
I was really happy with this resource and would recommend it !
Lisa G. –
This is a great activity to work on both receptive and expressive language with young learners. For young kids who struggle with these skills, it is difficult to find activities that maintain their attention, but this one does a relatively good job.

I have loved using this resource to introduce describing concepts to my students! I cut and velcro’d all the items. It takes some time to put together, but the interactive materials and systematic visuals make it worth it. It’s kept me organized and I’ve been able to use it alongside different books to generalize concepts. Thanks for a great resource!
Jill E. –
My students love sorting all of these pictures! And then coming up with some of their own.

Julia Lyman –
This resource is visually appealing, and well-organized.

I use this activity every week. I love the way it is organized. My children really stay engaged when they are required to move symbols to respond/ generate sentences. I set it up in a binder with extra pages for the vocabulary- velcro all the way!
Rachel P. –
I used this with a kiddo I was working with. I loved the whole thing. I used it in part with EET beads and song.
Paige B SLP –
i haven’t used this as much as i wanted to because it all gets printed and then i put it in a cabinet and forget about it, but it’s so good. I wish there was a virtual version where you could move the pieces around or something like that so i would utilize it more!
Faigy A. –
Saved me a lot of prep time!

Risha Jones –
I love this product because it’s so well organized and visuals are perfect
Michelle I. –
This is a very comprehensive describing resource packed with visual supports! I have parts of it handy at all times during therapy. It would be helpful however, to include some sort of instructions on how to prep this resource effectively as the PDF can be overwhelming to navigate. Including a table of contents or uploading the different describing areas in separate folders may also save some scrolling time :).
Suzanne R. –
I have been struggling to get back “GREEN” and the response being “GROUP” using the EET. I needed to start targeting categorizing at a different angle first. This helped so much!
Taylor F. –
Love this resource!
Tara S. –
This is a great way to introduce categories and describing. My students love being able to manipulate the pieces.

Great resource for my small groups. This was very helpful and students were very successful.

My students in language therapy loved this material and it was so engaging. It was helpful to target adjectives, categories, describing, comparing and contrasting and so many other language targets. I love the materials from Speechy Musings. They are always high quality and useful!
Kristin J. –
This activity is extremely well organized and has so much jam-packed into it to expand a student’s expressive language skills. I don’t love the icons very much, and some of the pages didn’t print right which led to lines being cut off (but that could’ve just been my own computer/printer).
Alyssa K. –
I use these for a variety of activities. It takes a bit to prep but the materials are versatile.
Elizabeth B. –
This was one of my first TPT purchases and I have used it consistently for years. It is a lot of printing and laminating, but worth it for the level of engagement I get with it.

Really like these visuals in teaching language processing.

What a great resource the pictures are clear and vibrant. The concept makes it easy for my students to learn and they enjoy when I pull this out to work on. I’ve used the pictures in sensory bins or during games to target categorizing and describing.
Ashley G. –
I highly recommend this resource! This was an engaging activity. I’ve used this with several students and they all loved it!
Kim W. –
I absolutely love this resource!! It is definitely a staple in my materials when teaching not only describing but ‘wh’ questions, categorization, labeling, basic concepts, and so much more! My students remain engaged with the cute graphics and graphic organizers/ templates. Everything is easy to understand and manipulate for them as well. I also love how the format remains consistent with each descriptor for my students to comprehend and apply the skills learned. I definitely recommend for every SLP!!
Michelle W. –
Awesome resource! Students enjoyed when I hid pictures around the room and they’d race to see who could fill their card first!
Logan N. –
I love using the EET in speech but needed a bit more structure in how I was teaching each portion. My students loved sorting the picture cards into their categories, and their data has improved with independently expressing categories since then! This is an excellent resource for all the SLPs working on describing with their students.
Christina C. –
Another great, ready-to-use resource from Speechy Musings!
Jamie N. –
There was SO MUCH included in this pack! It definitely took a lot of time to get all printed, laminated, and sorted, but once that was done I’ve been able to incorporate EET into so many more activities using this format. There are so many options to choose from and I can use this resource for weeks without getting bored. Thank you!

I love the breakdown of skills in this resource. My students have enjoyed the hands on activities.
The Lowkey SLP –
I find myself reaching for this resource a lot! It’s great to use in groups.
Valerie M. –
This is a detailed, sequential product but it is not the most engaging. I would love to see a Boom deck included to increase portability.
Leeanne N. –
This was easily accessible and helpful to pull up on a zoom session to use as an intro or “ticket out the door” activity for a student with multiple significant language, speech and cognitive issues. The large, clear font and noncluttered pictures were helpful in directing the student’s attention.
Amanda P. –
Great product! I love the amount of options and visuals. My students really connected with this.

This has been a great resource to use with my students!

Diana Martinez SLP –
So many of my students are working on identifying/labeling categories, this activity it perfect and super engaging for them!

I use the chipper chat chips or playdough with these and the students find this activity very engaging. Just what I was looking for and easy to take along to sessions.
Karen S. –
A great resource to target describing vocabulary! Aligns well with EET.
Wendy H. –
Great for working on attributes/describing words as well as increasing length of utterance. Thank you for all the work you put into this resource!
SLPbee –
Great resource, except the the cards to work on each “wh” concept individually towards the end of the packet (p. 38-41) are slightly off. Of the 5 “who” cards, there are 2 cards with the boy, 2 cards with the girl, and 1 for the chef (no teacher, firefighter, policeman, detective, or doctor). Of the “what” cards, 3/5 cards have the same tree image. The “where” cards also contain a duplicate location (the stage). I’m still glad I purchased for the book.
Jessica M. –
This is such an amazing resource! So helpful for my students who have difficulty describing.
Candice Grudowski SLP –
Presents similar concepts in multiple formats for different learners.

I love all of the pictures for the categories! I also really like that there are pictures included for the category titles, since many of my students are non-readers.
Cytryn Speech –
This resource covers describing and categorizing from every possible angle. I love it and use it often.
Hayley D. –
Great resource! The images are very engaging. I like being able to focus on just part of describing with my students.
Joanne S. –
I love Speechy Musing’s stuff! It’s all laid out in a very clean manner and has lots of repetitions of the target skill, so we’re teaching and not just practicing! I used this with some KG separate-class students who are working on categories, but I also have it earmarked for a 5th grader who is working on describing. It could work for all those goals. It is a good amount of prep and setup- and ink- but it’s worth it once you get it all prepped and ready. I wish some pictures were a little different- for example, when I pulled out “broccoli” or “eggplant” for food with my KG student, I realized she’d probably never eaten those foods and I needed a bag of chips or something. But it’s still great!
Nancy R. –
This has been a great resource especially for the early describing area as I find it challenging to find simple resources to teach adjectives for the 4-5 year old population.
Andrea L. –
One of my go-to resources for categories and describing. It’s a lot of prep but it’s worth it!

I use this resource regularly. It can take some time to prep, but it is well worth it!
Sydney S. –
So interactive, lots of good information! A lot of my students benefit from this in one way or another. It is nice to have 1 product work on so much and at different levels
marissa cerizo –
My students enjoyed this activity. This was a great way to introduce categories to students with mild-moderate disabilities.

Ellie Phillips –
Wow what a resource!!! This took time to set up but once I did it was awesome to use and collect data on.
Jessica D –
A very thorough and excellent resource. It definitely takes a lot of time to put together, so I am slowly printing/laminating/cutting as needed. I wonder if a boom card option would be possible? I am sure it took a lot of time to create, thank you!
Shawn N. –
I’ve used this alongside the EET and have had great success so far. This is really helping my students to understand group/category.
Megan L. –
This packet is a fantastic tool for building foundational language skills! The visuals are clear and engaging, making it easy for my younger students to practice describing objects and categorizing them by different features. It’s perfect for therapy sessions, and I’ve also used it in small groups with great success. The activities are varied enough to keep kids interested while targeting key speech and language goals. A must have for early elementary!
Brett Zuckerman –
This is one of my most used purchases from TpT. It took time to put together, but it is absolutely worth it. So many goals can be targeted, and it’s easy to pair with the EET. Very useful for early communicators as well as older students with language disorders.

VANESSA N. –
This was a great resource to help my child practice describing and expanding his sentences.
Carly V. –
I cannot express how much I LOVE THIS RESOURCE!!! Many of my students are working on describing and benefit from breaking down each part of describing (e.g., function, color, parts, location, etc.). This resource does just that. I love the sentence starters and fill in the blanks. As well as breaking down what items belong to a specific color or category. Thank you so much!!
Joan O. –
This has been super helpful with a group of students needing simple and clear presentation – good visuals!

Well Crafted Resource!
This resource is EXTENSIVE, systematic, and well thought out. The pictures are very high quality as well! I use it for my elementary school students who are working on vocabulary development and descriptive language skills. It pairs really well with EET, especially for explicitly teaching the different ways to describe. It includes a ton of activities to reinforce learning of each concept, supported for both in person and teletherapy instruction. This is one of my go-to resources and I’ve been using it successfully for many years. Well worth the money. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing resource for targeting describing with everyday objects. It is well organized by type of descriptor up to five different descriptors in one, and it is also easily applicable to picture and other visual stimuli.

Great for Early Describing and Categorizing
This packet is a wonderful resource for helping young learners practice describing and categorizing skills. The visuals are clear, engaging, and developmentally appropriate, which makes it easy for students to understand and participate. I like how the activities combine vocabulary building with critical thinking in a fun, interactive way. It’s been a very helpful tool for speech-language therapy sessions targeting early language development.
