Irregular Past Tense Verb Picture Cards 2

About this resource

A picture card for every verb on the probe, so a child who cannot yet read "stand / stood" as text still has something to point at. This is the sequel to Regular and Irregular Past Tense Verb Picture Cards: 8 new verbs, all irregular, with zero overlap with that deck's 12-verb bank. Every verb gets exactly two cards with the same action picture: a TODAY card and a YESTERDAY card, told apart by a small drawn calendar in the corner (a dot for today, a check for yesterday, with the word printed beside it). Today and yesterday are always scored separately, never averaged into one number.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 19 pages, 343 type-in fields

Picture Cards

• 8 irregular verbs in full color as 16 cut pieces: each verb is a separate TODAY card and YESTERDAY card, side by side, edge to edge in a 4-across, 4-row grid so it cuts with one straight cut per row and one down the middle of each pair. Verbs: stand/stood, build/built, buy/bought, eat/ate, draw/drew, think/thought, fight/fought, wear/wore. Big picture, word in large type
• The same 16 pieces again as an ink-saver set in pure black outlines, for the photocopier
• An adult box under the cards (not on the cards, so nothing extra is cut) listing the 6 pictures a child may name another way (build "builder or worker," buy "shopping or bags," eat "plate or dinner," draw "paint or art," fight "swords," wear "shirt") and noting that every picture shows the action underway, so a child may say the "-ing" word; you decide once, in your own scoring rule, what counts

Probe And Track

• 2 quick picture probe forms (A, B), 4 verbs each (8 pictures) — untimed, today and yesterday each marked correct / error / approximation separately; Forms A and B together are the whole 8-verb bank with no overlap
• Full-Deck Probe — all 8 verbs on one sheet, scored at today level and yesterday level, with a verbatim column for what was actually said
• 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 goal line
• Caseload Summary — 16 rows: student, level, baseline, current, trend, decision

Share And Write

• Practice at Home — a family update built from four of the same verb pairs used in session (stand, buy, build, wear), a weekly practice table, and lines for the times a family heard about something already done outside of practice time
• Phrase Bank — 18 observable-language starters across 5 groups (accuracy, what was said, carryover, the log and graph, the caseload page)
• Filled Example — an invented student, eight probes, 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. It does not decide what counts as a correct today or yesterday word, a goal line, or a typical rate for past tense — 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 a past tense, morphosyntax, or expressive language goal who have already used the original 12-verb deck and want a second, non-overlapping set of irregular verbs, and the families who get the practice page sent home.
