This set contains 63 Feature and Function Task Cards which all focus on identifying the correct item given a feature or function of the item. For example, “find the one you drink”. The student needs to identify the orange juice from the group of 4 items. Find the one who flies”. The student needs to identify the “bee” as the one that flies in the group of 4 animals. Some cards are more challenging than others.
One way to use these cards is during small group instruction. If the student is verbal, have the student name all the items on the card before they identify the item which matches the feature/function description. I like to have the students who are verbal name all the items because I want to make sure the student knows the name for all the items on the card. It’s always good naming practice. Then either the student or you read the card. Finally, have student identify the item which matches the given description. You can always change the level of prompting by covering up one or two of the pictures on the card to reduce the choice size.
Previously, Sasha and I talked about these great photo storage bins we found on Amazon which I use to hold different task cards. I added these Feature/Function cards to one of my photo storage containers. It’s starting to fill up! Add the label on the front and place it in the photo bin.
I found the photo storage bins on Amazon – Here is the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/IRIS-Large-Photo-Keeper-Set/dp/B003KWH8OQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1479138179&sr=8-7&keywords=picture+storage+boxes

Do you have more cards for other subjects or learning areas? I love your photo storage bin idea and would love to start one of my own.
Thanks!

Hi Carla! These cards might be a little too advanced for a 2 year old. If you want specific recommendations to meet your child’s learning needs, email [email protected] and she can help!
