Concept words are the quiet workhorses of the classroom: they turn up in almost every instruction a teacher gives, from pick the big one to who has more. These cards give twenty of them a picture and a voice, working from size words through colours and numbers to the harder pairs like same and different. Tap any card to open the full player; every card asks its question out loud.
The level dial rewrites every card live — the same picture grows with your child from single words to full sentences. Here’s card one:
Parent mode picks five words for today — big, little, blue, two, full — so a session can be two minutes on the couch, not a curriculum. Every card comes with a plain-language prompt like this one:
“Look at the picture and say it with me: big. Then ask: Which teddy in your room is big?”
Working on this in speech sessions? The player also has a clinician side: draw on any card, jot a note, and use record-and-playback for listen-then-say practice. See the SLP tour →
Basic concepts are the describing words that let a child follow instructions and answer questions: size words like big and tall, colour words, number words, and amount words like full, empty, more and less. This free deck gives you 20 of them as talking flashcards: every card shows a clear picture, asks its question out loud, and grows the answer from one word into a phrase or a full sentence.
Size and simple amount concepts such as big, little and more tend to come first, usually around two to three years old. Colour names and small number words follow, and same and different are often not reliable until closer to four. Concept words matter because so many classroom instructions depend on them, and a child who cannot yet sort out same from different will look like they are not listening when the real gap is vocabulary.

No. Little Words is a practice tool for home and for sessions. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, a licensed speech-language pathologist can evaluate and guide you — these cards are a way to practice between conversations, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
