Vary it each time so that the players get a turn with both sounds. 2. Take it in turns to choose a picture card. Say the word. What sound does it start with? Help the child to emphasise the initial sound if necessary. Let him/her look in a mirror to see whether the lips start together for ‘m’ or apart for ‘n’. If the picture belongs on the player’s board it is placed in position. If not it is returned face down. Encourage the other player to try and remember where it is for his/her next turn. This helps in the training of the memory. 3. Play passes to the other player who does the same - until one player completes his/her board. Play then ends and that player is the winner. 4.

Non-identical Animal Matching
Special Resources, ELA, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
Matching games build visual discrimination, classification, and critical thinking skills in young learners. This set takes matching a step further by featuring non-identical images that must be sorted based on conceptual relationships. With an engaging farm animal theme, students will delight in making connections between like animals. The materials include 6 base boards, each with 4-5 detailed farm animal pictures. Rather than matching identical pairs, students must categorize the animals by traits like species, color, or baby/adult. Sort pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, horses and more using visual cues like number of legs, color of fur, or size. Because the images vary slightly, students must look beyond basic appearance to understand how the animals are related fundamentally. This challenges learners to classify concepts at a deeper level. Worksheets can be used independently, in small groups, or whole class. The open-ended format allows for sorting by multiple attributes. Laminated boards and animal cut-outs enable reuse for different categorization each time. Activities build visual discrimination, flexible thinking, and vocabulary as students explain their sorting rationale. Moving the pieces enhances motor skills too. This engaging game delivers cognitive growth in a hands-on way. This set comes with 6 base boards each with 4-5 farm animal pictures. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Children's Illustrator:

2 Factor Authentication: Working Memory and Life Skills Activity
Special Resources, Life Studies, Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Home Economics, Not Grade Specific, Activities
Here’s a real-world way to help your students strengthen their working memory while learning how to use 2 factor authentication: a useful life skill! What’s Included: 6 Page PDF: Ready to print and use! 1-page handout (2 versions: complete or fill-in-the-blank) that clearly explains 2 Factor Authentication: what it is, why it’s important, and how it works. 1-page student handout with instructions on how to complete the memory practice (with a partner or independently) and a printable keyboard to use during the activity. 2 pages of random numbers: 50 of each 4-digit, 5-digit, 6-digit, and 7-digit numbers AND 50 of each 8-digit, 9-digit, and 10-digit numbers How to Use: Give students the handout and teach them about 2 Factor Authentication. Next, explain the activity. Students can practice on their own or with a partner. They can start with 4-digit numbers, or you can assign a higher level based on your students’ abilities. Once they can successfully complete a drill of 10 numbers in a row from one list, they can move up to the next level of difficulty. You can make this a regular routine to help improve your students’ working memory skills! Student Instructions: 1) Either have a friend read you a code or put a ruler underneath the first code in the list you are working on and read it to yourself. 2) Practice memorizing the code. If it’s four digits, you could break it into two two-digit numbers or use another strategy that works for you personally. 3) Repeat the code aloud as you pretend to type it on the keyboard. 4) Practice 10 codes. If you get them all correct (you or your partner check them off as you go), move to a longer code list the next time you practice. Grades to Use With: This activity can be used with students in grades 4 and up as there are seven different levels of difficulty. It could be very useful in high school special education and life skills classes.

Oral Blending Picture Cards and Activities Black and White Only This is a resource specifically developed for educators involved with students who find it challenging to acquire accurate reading skills. It comprises three unique activities reinforced by visual aids, engineered to enhance oral blending skills. Oral blending often functions as the essential stepping stone in mastering word pronunciation in written text. By honing this skill, students struggling with sound perception can see immense improvement, mitigating issues like guessing words or inaccurate reading due to insufficient phonic familiarity or improper prior blending practice. The Complete Package 48 large colored picture cards: Consisting of mixed sounds and CVC words. 48 small picture cards: Available in both color and black & white versions, featuring complex sound mixtures and simpler CVC words. Diverse Baseboards: Offer a variety of learning tools. Potential Applications This product has diverse uses including but not limited to being a homework supplement; a useful tool for Special Education Needs (SEN), speech therapy resources amongst others thereby maximizing its practical utility across various learning settings such as whole group lessons or tailor-made tutoring sessions designed for initial blend training among young learners or remedial intervention amongst older children still grappling with fluent reading abilities. Aiming at Actual Understanding Over Rote Learning The Oral Blending Picture Cards work towards guaranteeing learners truly decode rather than simply memorize when progressing on their journey towards literacy success. The cards segment the sounds within each word while simultaneously helping blend them back together preparing the learner for successful decoding into text form. As these activities predominantly target auditory capabilities over reading abilities, rote memorization of letters and their sequences is discouraged thus fostering efficient cognitive understanding regarding the relationship between letters and sounds.
