Teacher questions
Before you print
These cards are a low-tech bridge for everyday communication. They are not a test and a child never has to speak to use them.
Report a word or request a language review →Who are these classroom communication cards for?
They are designed for teachers, teaching assistants, early-years settings, primary classrooms, newcomer support, and families helping a child communicate across English and Albanian.
What is included in the free PDF?
Each edition has a point-to-tell board plus 62 cut-apart cards covering needs, feelings, play, classroom routines, safety, and simple social language.
Which Albanian edition should I print?
Ask the family which wording sounds most natural at home. Choose Standard Albanian for the standard-language edition or Shqip (Kosovë) for familiar everyday Kosovo Albanian phrasing.
Can I use these as a clinical AAC system?
No. These are simple classroom communication supports, not an assessment or a replacement for a child’s established communication system, interpreter, safeguarding process, or professional advice.
