I love that the photos are clear, focused, and culturally/ regionally sensitive.

    I actually use these for my middle and high school students in moderate placements. Really great for when you’re ready to remove visuals.

  148. Kimberly W. –

    I bought this on a sale because I love everything by this seller. I knew I’d like the photos, visuals and ease of use with both clickable PDF and Boom Card formats. I didn’t find myself using it at first because my students don’t have goals specifically for visualization or nonverbal working memory, but it was a helpful and engaging resource to work on describing and overall language expression!

  149. Joel K. –

    I love that I can use this resource to work on so many language skills, while focusing on the memory piece.

  150. Kamalpreet K. –

  152. Kristian P. –

    This is a wonderful resource to use to teach the concept of visualization.

Once a student has mastered this skill, I have them work on forming pictures in their mind as they hear a sentence or short story.

  153. Sharon Rodrigues –

    This is such a great resource to teach the concept of visualisation. Great starting point when using the strategy of Visualisation.

    My students love this resource, they ask to use it often. It is a great resource.

  160. Cecily G. –

    This was a great tool to work on visualization in speech therapy. While there were multiple levels, I wish it was a little more challenging. However it is a great jumping off point for expanding the ideas on my own.

  161. Cora C. –

    Loved using this resource! The kiddos really enjoyed trying to remember what they just saw. Great activity!

  166. Aimee C. –

    Great for memory

    I use this with my students to work on their memory skills, and they enjoy the challenge.
