Task Box Task Cards is a printable independent work system for autism support, special education, Pre-K, kindergarten and 1st grade. It gives you 264 task cards organized into 19 skill sets, each designed to sit in its own labeled box so students can pull a task, complete it and put it away.
The reading boxes cover letter matching, uppercase and lowercase matching, beginning sounds, rhyming and missing letters. Writing boxes move from pre-writing strokes and tracing to forming uppercase and lowercase letters. The math boxes practice counting, tracing numbers, comparing, shapes, color words, number words, patterns and ten frames.
Every card is simple and uncluttered, which helps learners who are easily overwhelmed by busy pages. Students show their answers with clothespins or dry-erase markers, and once the cards are laminated they can be used again and again across the year.
Box labels for all 19 task boxes make setup quick, and an 8-week rotation plan with a setup guide shows how to introduce and swap boxes over time. An IEP data collection sheet with prompt levels helps you track independence and progress toward goals, and answer keys are included.
Print, laminate and fill the boxes once, then use the 56-page PDF all year for independent work stations, literacy and math centers, morning work, early finishers, early intervention, ESL and ELL support, homeschool and IEP goal practice.
