City, Rail and Big Vehicles Picture Cards

About this resource

A picture card for every vehicle on the probe, so a child who cannot yet read a word list still has something to look at. This is the second vehicle picture deck in the store: street, rail and heavy-road vehicles a child sees around a city, sorted into two groups. Every one of the 7 pictures was checked against both art sets and against every other naming deck already in the store, so nothing here repeats a card sold elsewhere — including its own sibling, the farm/water/air Vehicle Picture Sort.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 23 pages, 287 type-in fields

Picture Cards

• 7 vehicle picture cards in full color, large, one name under each, dashed cut-apart border, split into two groups: Rail Vehicles (4) — train, tram, aerial tramway, monorail; City and Big Vehicles (3) — race car, semi truck, minibus
• The same 7 cards again as an ink-saver set in pure black outlines, for the photocopier
• A note printed on both card pages naming the 4 pictures a young child may name another way (aerial tramway "cable car," race car "racing car," semi truck "big rig," minibus "van"), plus a separate, clearly marked note on the one look-alike pair on this deck: train and tram, which reduce to a near-identical front-on rail-vehicle silhouette on the ink-saver page

Sort Mats And Answer Key

• Sort Mat 1 — a faint picture guide for all 7 cards, the starter level
• Sort Mat 2 — both full groups, no picture guide
• Sort Mat 3 — circle the group and write the word for every card, one table of all 7
• Answer Key — every card, in the group it goes in, plus the "names a child may say instead" list and the train/tram look-alike note

Probe And Track

• 2 quick picture probe forms, one per group (Form A, the 4 Rail Vehicles pictures; Form B, the 3 City and Big Vehicles pictures), untimed, each picture marked correct / error
• Full-Deck Probe — all 7 vehicles on one sheet, one mark per picture, with a column for the group the child actually chose
• Data Log — 17 rows: date, form, correct, out of, percent, notes
• Percent Graph — 14 probes across, 0–100 percent grid, a field for the team's own criterion
• Caseload Summary — 16 rows: student, last form given, baseline, current, trend, decision

Share And Write

• Vehicles We Spot at Home — a family update built from all 7 of the same pictures used in session, a weekly practice table, and lines for the vehicles a family noticed outside of practice time
• Phrase Bank — 19 observable-language starters across 5 groups (accuracy, which group, carryover, the log and graph, the caseload page)
• Filled Example — an invented student, eight probes across both forms, every percent re-counted from its own row

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the log, graph, caseload page, family page, and probe-form headers, or print and use a pen. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a norm-referenced or standardized test.

It carries no elicitation, cueing or modeling script, and no transportation lesson. It does not decide what counts as a correct sort, a criterion, or a typical rate for sorting vehicles — every one of those is this clinician's own call, written once and reused every session. Pictures replace the printed word list a child cannot yet read; they do not replace the clinician's scoring rule.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists and special education teams with young or pre-reading students on an expressive-vocabulary or classification goal, and the families who get the practice page sent home.
