Spark Picture This! Flipbook
Description
A beautiful compilation of picture scenes with question prompts to make teaching and learning Wh-questions easy!
Wh-questions are the foundation of all learning and crucial in a child's language development.
Spark Picture This! Flipbook is the first-of-its-kind book that includes 20 picture scenes with 16 characters each, and tons of language opportunities! This book is full of picture cards that aid kids in sentence building and more, with prompt cards included to teach descriptions, actions, emotions, and prepositions.
Picture This! is designed for kids of young ages to develop their vocabulary, based on linguistic and social-emotional learning with question cards, picture cards, and storytelling cards. With this book, children have the chance to place the proper sentences within the story of the image, with every lushly illustrated page coming with a corresponding prompt and question page.
This book provides endless opportunities for children to learn and grow, and it's perfect for classrooms, therapy centers, homeschooling, and parents looking for an interactive and educational game for their kids.
It is crucial for children to understand and be able to ask and answer Wh-questions. These simple questions are the foundation of a child's ability to participate in conversations, acquire knowledge, and learn about the world around them. Wh-questions will also help them follow directions appropriately and understand basic information.
Ages 3 and up.
How It Works:
One great way to teach children how to answer questions is to provide them with a visual illustration as a guide and then asking and answering the questions. Using a visual to practice these skills will help with comprehension in a fun and exciting way. Children can examine the picture, while SLPs/parents can guide and model the child the correct way to answer the questions.
Spark Picture This! Flipbook provides super fun and exciting picture scenes that are loaded with social-emotional content, details, and specific features to help you engage with your child while exploring learning the Wh-questions, emotions, prepositions, and more.
Skills Included:
The Wh-questions are WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW.
These skills generally develop around 3-4 years of age. WHAT is the earliest question that children will master, followed by WHO and WHERE. After that WHEN and HOW develop leaving WHY as the last and highest level of Wh-questions to master.
Spark Picture This! Flipbook includes:
- 20 Detailed, illustrated scenes
- Question guides for each scene
- 10 front and back dry-erase prompt cards (marker not included)
- 1 sheet of 30 thought bubble stickers
Target Age Range: 3 And Up
Once a child is age 3, WHAT questions begin to develop, followed by WHO and WHERE. By age 4 , WHEN and HOW questions develop, followed by WHY questions.

Author
After earning her Masters degree as a Speech and Language Pathologist, Spark Innovations founder, Leah Schwed, MA, CCC-SLP, began working with school age children struggling with a variety of language deficits. Among her obligations was creating fun yet educational learning experiences. She noted one common issue again and again, the need for engaging and updated quality materials that encourage children to think and improve language one step at a time. After a decade of experience working with children, she set out to create products and materials that were updated, kid friendly, fun, and multi-functional when used in therapy.
In 2017 Leah incorporated The Spark Innovations Inc., and the Award Winning Spark Cards were introduced in 2018. Spark Cards have been described as an amazing tool helping parents, therapists, and educators teach core language skills to children in a most fun and exciting way. It's mission is helping all children improve language development one step at a time.
Customer Reviews
"I love using the spark products to teach SEL skills to my students . The pictures in this spiral book are cute and vivid with a lot of great detail. I use the scenes to teach skills such as identifying emotions and thoughts, conversation skills, finding hidden rules. This is a huge asset and I look forward to getting a lot of continued use out of it." -01/09/2024
"I love this picture book! As a speech therapist, I am always looking for good quality products that I can use for many different concepts. I love this flipbook for the questions and prompts on the back side of the picture, as well as the ability to target WH questions and narratives. I have never been disappointed by any of the Spark products. The materials are also very high quality and last a long time." -12/07/2023
"This is a great product. I have scoured the internet for "busy pictures" many times. This product has 20 "busy pictures" that are drawn to elicit authentic speech and conversation. On the "teacher" side of the flipped page are questions to ask students. Students can also ask each other these questions. This product is perfect for one-on-one or small group." -11/23/2023
"Sometimes you need a quick lesson on the go. This book is perfect for it. You can stand it on the table, kids see visual, you see questions. Great for ESL, SLPs, or just building up students' oral language." -11/10/2023
"Each child I have for mixed expressive/receptive skills in speech therapy has different interests. This provides several different picture scenes that can catch interest. It is easy to use and when they have seen one scene a number of times they are ready to engage in a different one." -11/04/2023
"Most of my students loved this. It appealed to students who are on the spectrum and who are learning to interpret facial expressions and perspectives. It can be used to elicit lots of language." -06/03/2023
"Using this with my clients with ASD and they love all of the pictures it comes with. The pictures are big and show ranges of emotions to discuss and offer lots of great questions to ask about each image!" -03/26/2023
"I've been an SLP for 14 years and I now only buy materials that are super versatile and easy to use. This product was a no brainer since it can be used for every aspect of therapy; expressive and receptive language, social-emotional skills, articulation, responding to questions, formulating sentences, etc. etc. The kit comes with a wide variety of targets and lesson plan ideas ready to implement but the scenes are so vivid and full of action, they truly lend themselves to any therapy target and can be used creatively. The flipbook is well made and the pictures are so interesting. I especially appreciated the diversity and inclusion of each of the images. Kudos! One of my favorite parts is the sheet of reusable thought/speech bubbles that can be used with dry erase markers. So fun! If I were just starting my career, I would 100% buy this as a therapy material that can be used with your whole caseload. As a seasoned SLP, I love that this can simplify my lesson plans and I can target any goal using it. It's also perfect for itinerant SLPs because it's compact and fits nicely in a tote bag." - 02/27/2023
"I absolutely love this product! I’ve already gotten so much use out of it in just one week. I’m able to use it across my entire caseload for just about every goal area! There is so much detail on each page, with characters showing various emotions, problems, etc. lots to talk about. I would highly recommend this activity to all SLPs working with school-age children." - 02/26/2023
