Back to School Match and Flip Books | Beginning Sounds Counting Color | SLP SPED
Product Description
These Back to School Match and Flip Books (school supplies theme) build foundational matching skills with a hands-on, low-prep adapted book format. Students flip through school-supply pages to practice matching by color, matching by shape, matching by beginning sound, AND matching numbers to quantity — four matching subskills (including a phonics skill!) in one back to school set. Features big pieces for little hands and students with fine motor challenges.
✏️ Perfect for:
- Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting matching, attributes, beginning sounds (phonological awareness), and number goals
- Special Education teachers building back to school and beginning-of-year centers
- Autism classrooms needing structured, repeatable work tasks
- Occupational Therapists working on visual discrimination and fine motor skills
- ABA therapists running discrete trial matching, phonics, and number programs
- Early Childhood, Pre-K, and Kindergarten teachers
