This set of language elicitation cards and questions was designed as a tool to be used in assessing language for preschool and elementary school aged children.
These cards are meant to elicit a language sample that can be analyzed in the context of typical language development as well as the child’s background (e.g., educational experiences, family, linguistic and cultural background, etc). For this reason, no scores are included here. The cards and set of questions are included in one downloadable pdf. The images should be printed, cut apart and pasted onto cardstock with the questions on the back for the evaluator to read. Or you can also swipe through images and questions on your tablet or phone by clicking on the gallery below.
