Build strong sentence comprehension with this powerful 46-page REAL PHOTO resource targeting all four types of infinitives!
This set includes 184 picture stimuli and high-frequency modeled sentences that help students understand why people do things, what to do, how to do it, which one, and what it means to—making it perfect for SLPs, special education teachers, ESL/ELL support, and small-group language intervention.

This product provides focused stimulation, contrastive sentence pairs, and picture–sentence matching to support students who struggle with comprehension of: Purpose infinitives (to + verb = why?)

• Wh-infinitives (what to do, how to start, when to line up, where to sit)
• Infinitives as noun modifiers (a towel to dry, a chair to sit in, a book to read)
• Extraposed subject infinitives (It’s hard to… It’s important to…)
  

Each page includes four real-life photos and 1–2 sentences designed to highlight the meaning carried by the infinitive phrase. Students learn to listen for purpose, location, method, and intended action—NOT just the main verb. What’s Included
