Categories Speech Therapy Activities BOOM Cards™️ Digital Activities

Description

Practice categorization and sorting skills with interactive, no print Boom Cards! This activity is the perfect addition to your speech therapy sessions.

These digital, self-grading task cards are a thorough, well-planned way to build categorization skills. There are five different ways to work on categories and sorting, and these differentiated levels make it easy to scaffold and build upon skills.

Categories are a foundation for how we learn, relate, store, and recall words. Categorization is important in language because it allows us to group our thoughts, process information, store and retrieve ideas, and describe items!

Target category concepts with these interactive, self-grading cards for teletherapy, at-home learning, or in-person therapy sessions. Perfect for teaching these concepts in repetitive, consistent activities that keep kids engaged. Designed specifically to target these foundational categorization skills!
