Tools for sessions and for home
Little Words is mostly things a child plays with. These tools are for the adult in the room: build a board, sequence a routine, plan a session, log trials, or send the week home. Every tool on this page is free to use without an account. Little Words Plus adds the complete practice library and deeper workflows across sessions.
Choice board maker
Pick cards from 36 decks or type your own words, arrange 2, 4, 6 or 9 cells, and tap any cell to hear the word out loud. Print it, or send the whole board as a link.

Everyone Open the decks →Why all seven tools stay free
A parent or clinician should be able to finish a useful five-minute task before joining. All seven tools need no account, and your work stays in your own browser. Paid plans support the complete content library, personalization, saved progress, reporting, and professional workflow.
One thing we have deliberately not built: a camera tool. Putting a child's face through a browser we control is a category of risk that a talking picture board simply does not carry, and our differentiator is Buddy's voice, not video.
Where the tools sit in the rest of the site
Little Words tools are activity materials for practice and play. They are not an assessment, they do not diagnose, and they do not replace working with a speech-language pathologist.
