About this resource
Students sort varied pictures into household-object categories. Each blank mat has space for a category card and six smaller pictures. Choose categories such as couch and chair for an initial contrast, then rearrange the cards to suit the learner. The instructions offer binder, folder, book and loose-card arrangements.
