Build logical thinking and language skills with story-based inference practice!

Speech Corner Photo Cards for Inferences-Short Stories is a powerful and engaging resource designed to help students strengthen their ability to interpret both visual and auditory information. Each card pairs a real-life photo with a short story and inferential follow-up questions—perfect for developing higher-level thinking and language comprehension skills.

Connect what they see, hear, and know.

On the front of each card is a vivid photograph that sets the scene. On the back, a short story with four inferential questions challenges students to apply reasoning, draw conclusions, and refine their listening and memory skills.

Targets key cognitive and language skills:

• Making inferences from stories and images

• Applying logic and reasoning to real-world scenarios

• Interpreting visual and auditory cues

• Strengthening auditory memory

• Determining logical outcomes

Perfect for:

• Mixed-language or mixed-cognitive level groups

• Grab-and-go therapy sessions for busy SLPs

Built for practical use:

Each card measures 4.5″ x 6.5″—large enough for visibility in group settings but compact for easy transport. The set includes an answer key and game ideas to support flexible, therapist-friendly implementation.
