Boom Cards for speech and special ed

Core words, one tap at a time.

Milestones Labs makes AAC and core-vocabulary Boom Cards decks for Pre-K to 4th grade. They're practice materials for SLPs and teachers, built by a speech-language pathologist for real caseloads.

Core Words: Receptive Identification, Set 1

Our first deck covers 20 core words. On each card, the adult reads the prompt aloud and the student taps the matching symbol from three choices. The two wrong choices are always the same color as the answer, so students pick by the symbol itself, not by color.
