What are Lexical Evocation Cards?

Lexical Evocation Cards are a speech therapy tool developed by DYNSEO that helps children find words through clues. These cards develop lexical access and reasoning skills by presenting progressively easier clues that children must use to guess the target word.

What is the scoring system for the cards?

The point system rewards faster guessing: Finding the word on clue 1 = 5 points, clue 2 = 4 points, clue 3 = 3 points, clue 4 = 2 points, and clue 5 = 1 point. The earlier the child guesses correctly, the higher their score.

What are the different difficulty levels available?

There are two main difficulty levels: Easy Level features everyday words like apple, dog, sun, and car that children encounter regularly. Medium Level includes expanded vocabulary with words like butterfly, hospital, and rainbow that require broader knowledge.

Can you give an example of how the clues work?

For the word 'DOG': Clue 1 - 'It's a pet', Clue 2 - 'It has four legs and a tail', Clue 3 - 'It can guard the house', Clue 4 - 'It wags its tail when happy', Clue 5 - 'It barks: Woof woof!'. Each clue becomes more specific and easier.

Who can benefit from using these Lexical Evocation Cards?

These cards are primarily designed for children working with speech therapists or educators to develop vocabulary, lexical access, and reasoning skills. They're particularly useful for language development, cognitive training, and therapeutic interventions in educational or clinical settings.
