Folder activities are easy to make, store and reset for other students throughout the day. They are great for working on basic matching, letter recognition and initial sound skills in your special needs or early years classroom. This pack includes the printables and instructions to make 24 file folders for working on the letters of the alphabet. I love using file folders to give students extra practice for new skills as they are learning them with me first and then again during independent work to practice mastered skills. Task 1: Match letters to letters- I like to reinforce the sound these letters make as my students are completing this task. Task 2: Match pictures to pictures- initial sound with a specific letter. I like to use this as an opportunity to teach vocabulary as well as initial sounds. Instruction on how to make these folder activities are included in the PDF. You will need some velcro loops and hooks, square cut folders and laminating pouches. Alternatively, instead of creating individual folders for every letter, you can put all the activities in a binder. Thanks for looking :)

I have made this software for my special needs students. We use this during our whole class lessons on the whiteboard as well as in one-to-one sessions. This software focuses on Number and Place Value. I am also planning to make one for Addition and Subtraction in the (hopefully) near future. The activities are based on the objectives we need to teach them and is divided into different bands. You will see that it starts with band 2, which is a Nursery level. There is no band 1 in the software, as band 1 activities need to be practical, based on language skills more than anything. This software should be used in combination with lots of practical activities. If you spot any mistakes please let me know and I will do my best to update the software as soon as possible. The software works best in Google Chrome. Remember to extract the file first, then click on “Click here to start”. No need to install anything.
