What kids do

“Look at the picture in the box. Find the same picture in its row and color it.”

Teacher tip

Cover all but one row with a blank sheet, and slide it down as each row is finished. One row at a time keeps the page from feeling too busy.

How to use it

  • Start with one or two items and cover the rest with a sheet of paper.
  • Name each picture out loud together before the student starts.
  • Give help quietly and fade it fast: point before you speak, and speak before you move a hand.

Watch for

Guessing by position. Change where the right answer sits so the student really looks.

Talk about it

  • How do you know these two are the same?
  • What comes next?

Take it further

Match the pictures to real objects from the classroom.
