Describing and Making Inferences - Digital by BVG SLP

Teach describing and making inferences with this interactive PDF language resource. Students learn to use adjectives connected to sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, then use guiding questions to build descriptions before practicing inference-making in a game-style section.

Skills addressed

• Describing with sensory details and adjectives
• Making inferences
• Expressive language and sentence elaboration
• Oral and written expression

The lesson presents examples and guiding questions to model how details support a description. Students can use it as an introduction to descriptive language or to expand oral and written responses with more vivid detail.

Ways to use the resource

Display the interactive PDF on a Smartboard for whole-group instruction, or use it on tablets and in small-group speech therapy. It can also be shared during teletherapy. Individual pages may be printed for a describing bulletin board.

After students learn the descriptive framework, extend practice by having them describe real objects. In a show-and-tell activity, students can bring an item for others to describe or guess. The prompts can also help students organize details when writing.
