Sasha from theautismhelper.com shows her Candy Color and Count book, which helps kids match numbers up to 10 with colored items. The book uses non-primary colors like turquoise and lime green, scattered in a layout that makes counting harder and teaches organization. It works as a workstation task for counting, colors, and speech goals.
Sasha from theautismhelper.com, and this is a video tutorial of my Candy Color and Count book. So I wanted to give a quick tutorial of this book just to show how it's set up because it's a little bit different than some of my other books. So I bind all of the pages on the left side, and then I bind the kind of storage page, which is this page with all the gray boxes, to the last page on the right side. So just this is right here. So it's stored really nicely because you can just fold it in and but then when the child is reading the book, you can pull this out, and as you go through each page, all the picture options are stored right next to it. So it's super, super nice. You don't have to deal with the baggie, and then all the pictures are right there. So this book is basically just counting and matching the number and then identifying the color. So here's 5, so the students will match 5, and then what color? Lime green. So I purposefully kind of went away from the primary colors a little bit in this because Not every color is exactly the perfect shade of green or the perfect shade of blue, so this set has pink, orange, lime green, and turquoise. So each page follows the same repetition, and these are purposefully kind of not laid out in line, they're kind of scattered, because it makes it a little bit more challenging to count. You do kind of have to organize yourself and make sure you get everything. There's 8 different pages, so 16 different groups and opportunities to match, and the matching goes up to 10. So it follows the same routine. This is a great workstation task. This is great for working on speech goals, counting goals, color identification, and expressive receptive language. This has been really successful with a lot of my kids. Um, so yeah, stores really nicely right there, and that's it.
