What’s Wrong? Learning Cards

Turn curiosity into language with this vibrant set of 45 photographic learning cards designed to spark conversation, build vocabulary, and strengthen early reading skills. Each 4.25" x 5.5" card features a playful, “silly” scene that invites kids to observe, describe, and think critically about what might be “wrong” in the moment. It’s not just about recognizing errors—it’s about storytelling, reasoning, and expressive language in action.

What’s included and how it works

• 45 durable photography cards (4.25" x 5.5" each) with engaging, silly scenes that prompt discussion and hypothesis-making.
• Resource Guide and guided questions available in English, Spanish, and French to support multilingual learners and language-rich classrooms.
• Multilingual prompts help learners describe scenes, compare ideas, and practice vocabulary across languages — ideal for ELL/ESL settings and bilingual programs.
• Developmentally appropriate structure aligned with standards to support expressive language, vocabulary growth, and early reading comprehension.
• Teacher- and caregiver-friendly designed to ease lesson planning while offering flexible uses across centers, small groups, or individual practice.

Why this card set matters

What’s Wrong? Learning Cards don’t just teach words — they cultivate the thinking and speaking habits that turn young learners into confident communicators. By asking students to spot what’s off, describe details, justify their reasoning, and propose solutions, you encourage:

• Expanded vocabulary through concrete, visual prompts
• Fluency and expressive language as students narrate and justify ideas
• Reading readiness via inferencing, sequencing, and sequencing of events
• Social language skills through collaborative discussion and turn-taking

Ideal for who and where

• Early childhood classrooms, preschool, and kindergarten programs
• Special education groups and language therapy settings
• Bilingual and multilingual learning environments (English–Spanish–French)
• Homeschoolers and parents seeking structured, conversation-driven activities

Practical uses you’ll actually use

• Warm‑ups for language centers: start each session with a quick What’s Wrong? prompt to center discussions and set a language goal.
• One-on-one or small-group therapy: model descriptive phrases, scaffold responses, and track progress over time.
• Storytelling and recounting: have students describe the scene, narrate what happened before/after, or propose a corrected version of the scene.
• Multilingual practice: leverage the English/Spanish/French prompts to reinforce vocabulary across languages and support language transfer.
