📖 Sample Text

"It's Halloween! Boo! What do I see? I see a jack-o'-lantern as orange as can be."

📦 What's Included

1. Adapted Book (interactive) with matching pieces
2. 1 set of Interactive Halloween Things Posters (11 total)
3. Non-Exact Matching "Halloween Things" Matching Mat
4. 3 sets of "Big Flips" Matching Activities (3 levels)
5. 1 set of Halloween WH Question cards

🎯 Skills Targeted

• Halloween vocabulary
• Matching (picture-to-picture, non-exact, picture-to-word, picture-to-sentence)
• Answering WH questions
• Receptive and expressive language
• Reading comprehension
• Visual discrimination
• Generalization (non-exact matching)
• Following along in a book
• Following directions

📚 How to Use

• Adapted Book: read aloud as students match the correct picture to each page and identify each Halloween vocabulary word
• Non-Exact Matching Mat: students match each Halloween object to the same object that isn't an exact match (great for generalization)
• "Big Flips" Matching (3 levels):
  • Level 1 — picture to picture
  • Level 2 — picture to word
  • Level 3 — picture to the sentence that describes it
• Interactive Posters: display on a bulletin board for matching; or laminate a second set on a metal ring for a center/work-station task
• WH Question cards: target comprehension and answering WH questions
• Use across small group, 1:1, centers, work stations, and bulletin boards

💛 Perfect For

• Special education classrooms (SPED)
• Autism classrooms and ABA programs
• Speech-language therapy (vocabulary, WH questions, matching)
• Preschool, PreK, and Kindergarten
• Literacy centers, work stations, and task boxes
