School Supply Matching (with modifications)

Let's talk school supplies! After all, what would school be without erasers, rulers, pencils, and glue. Today, we are going to get a chance to work on a school supply matching activity. The idea is to match a word in the column on the right hand side of the page to it's corresponding picture, in the middle of the page. Take a look at the worksheet on the iSLCollective site and then we'll talk about the different things that you can do to make this activity as accessible for your little one as possible.

MODIFICATIONS: Right off the bat, I'm guessing that your kiddo doesn't read just yet. And, if she does, she might not be up to words like, "computer,""sharpener," and "scissors." I thought that a great way to handle this would be for you to go ahead and point to the first word in the right-hand column and tell you little one that, "this says, 'eraser.' " Then look for an eraser together on the page, starting at the very top left and working first to the right and then down the page, just like you would read a book - left to right and top to bottom (might as well work on some extra pre-reading skills, right?) If you're little one can right the corresponding number into the little circle, then more power to 'em. Otherwise, you can go ahead and do it - or you can write the number in highlighter and have your kiddo trace it. No matter how you do it, this one should be a little fun and a little challenge!
