The Language Builder: Picture Noun Card set is a tremendous tool for teaching key language concepts to preschool age children; children and adults with autism, developmental delay, or speech/language delay; or to anyone first learning or re-learning basic language skills. Experts in the developmental and language fields have provided guidance in content and format, and each image has been specially selected for its familiarity and appeal to children, as well as for its place in cognitive development.
The Language Builder: Picture Noun Card set is designed to teach:
- Receptive Labeling ("show me the apple" "give me the book")
- Expressive Labeling ("what is it?")
- Matching Identical Cards
- Matching Similar Cards
- Sorting into Categories
- Adjectives, Functions, Storytelling and more
This 350 card set includes stunning, child-pleasing, bright, photographic images from nine basic categories: animals, foods, vehicles, furniture, clothing, toys, everyday objects, shapes, and colors.
The set also comes with divider cards, preprinted stickers for custom organizing, and a sturdy “work-from” box. Each card is a standard photo 3 ½" x 5" size to allow easy incorporation of your own pictures. Real photos make great language builders!

Basic Stage Set
The Language Builder: Picture Noun Card set is the only flashcard set to offer the Basic Stage Set to teach matching skills and facilitate generalization.
Typical ABA and early autism education programs start by teaching children matching skills. Once a child can match two identical cards, they move on to matching similar cards, learning that even though one is orange and one is grey... one is fluffy and one is sleek... they are all cats
It can be difficult and time consuming to find 6 different images of multiple items. Language Builder Nouns save you valuable time, and insure the cards all work well together.
Track your Progress
The back of each card is numbered and gives a label and category for the image, as well as suggested activities appropriate to the card.
An included activity booklet provides more detailed instruction ideas. The cards are coated with a hi-gloss varnish for durability and all images appear horizontally for consistent presentation.
