Synonyms Picture Cards

About this resource

One picture, two words: nine pairs of synonyms, eighteen cut-apart picture cards, where each pair is the SAME picture printed under two different cards -- an elephant labeled "big" on one card and "large" on the other, a cupcake labeled "yummy" and "delicious," a sleeping face labeled "tired" and "exhausted." Each card carries one big picture and one big word, and the two cards of a pair sit side by side, so a child can see that two different words point at the same thing. Each card gets its own mark, and the file never decides what counts as a correct answer; that stays your own scoring rule.

WHAT IS INCLUDED -- 19 pages, 358 type-in fields

Picture Cards

• 18 picture cards in full color, each a big cut-apart piece laid edge to edge in a 6-across, 3-down grid so cutting is a few straight lines -- 9 pairs, three pairs to a row
• The same 18 cards again as an ink-saver set in pure black outlines, for the photocopier
• An adult box under each card page naming what a child may call the pictured object instead of either printed word (for example "elephant" for both big and large), so your scoring rule is decided before the first probe
• Pictures are Noto Emoji (color) and Fluent Emoji High Contrast (ink-saver); no answer key or drawn art needed -- every picture exists natively in both sets

Probe And Track

• 3 quick picture probe forms (A, B, C), 6 pictures each -- three pairs on each form, so the three forms together are the whole 18-card deck with no overlap
• Full-Deck Probe -- all 9 pairs on one sheet, a mark for each card, and a 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 criterion
• Caseload Summary -- 16 rows: student, pairs worked on, baseline, current, trend, decision

Share And Write

• Practice at Home -- a family update built from five of the same pairs used in session, a weekly practice table, and lines for synonyms a family noticed 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 response, a criterion, or a typical rate for synonyms -- every one of those is your own call, written once and reused every session. Pictures replace the printed word list a child cannot yet read; they do not replace your scoring rule.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists and special education teams working on synonyms, vocabulary and word relationships with young or pre-reading students, and the families who get the practice page sent home.
