About the Product
Introduction
Colour Words: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow Picture Cards is a 26-page digital PDF designed for children beginning to use describing words, including those with speech delay, autism, or who communicate with signs or AAC. This resource features 60 vibrant picture cards, each pairing a colour word with a familiar object in a clear, colour-first phrase like red ball or blue whale. Every colour word appears in its own hue, making learning both visual and interactive for early language learners.
Children practice matching colour words to objects with engaging activities that focus on the fixed colour-first frame. The method encourages noticing and using colour words naturally, never testing or quizzing, and supports full AAC parity. Outcomes include increased confidence with first describing words and the ability to use colour-object phrases in everyday communication.
Perfect for home, classroom, and therapy settings, the games and coach cards help children learn through play and repetition. The resource supports structured practice in speech sessions, group activities in preschool, and daily routines at home, ensuring children build skills with colour-object phrases in many real-life contexts.
