Pets Match and Flip Books | Color Beginning Sounds Matching | SLP SPED Autism
Product Description
These Pets Match and Flip Books build foundational matching skills with a hands-on, low-prep adapted book format. Students flip through pet-themed pages to practice picture-to-picture matching, color matching, AND matching by beginning sound — including a phonics skill most matching resources don't cover. Features big pieces for little hands and students with fine motor challenges.
