Backyard and Wild Birds Adapted Book

About this resource

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 19 pages, 113 type-in fields

• A What's Outside? Request Board: three request slots (I see, I want, Point to) and a six-picture match — with its own 6 cut-apart cards on the same sheet
• A Name That Bird Board: three naming slots (That is a, Show me, Find the) asking for the same six words a different way, and the same six-picture match again — with its own 6 cut-apart cards on the same sheet
• Both boards twice: a full-color set for a laminated binder and a black-and-white ink-saver set for the photocopier
• 18 cut-apart picture cards across the two classroom boards and the home page
• A weekly tracker: 8 board jobs down, Monday to Friday across, one letter per cell (no help / pointed once / said the words / not run), a "no help" count per row and a week total
• A binder organizer: a front cover, a spine strip and nine divider tabs (three of them blank)
• A home version: a smaller set of the same six cards for the kitchen table, with a seven-day "we did it" row
• A family update with a team hand-off block for the next adult who runs the binder
• A phrase bank: 24 lines in 6 groups (spoken lines for running the boards, written starters for the note afterward)
• A filled example — an invented student, one week, every count re-counted from its own row
• An answer key listing every board, the cards it takes and what correct looks like, plus the full word list
• Start Here, a contents page with page thumbnails, and a "what's next" back page

A backyard and wild bird vocabulary binder built on one six-word bank run through two different board types: a What's Outside? request board where the child asks for or points to any of the six birds, and a Name That Bird board where the same six cards are named a second way. Most matching binders run one board per topic; this one runs two task types off a single word bank so a short list still earns a full binder, with the tracker, family update and phrase bank behind it.

The Boards

• What's Outside? Request Board (page 6 in color, page 7 in ink-saver) — the board stays whole above a cut line; the card band below cuts apart. Three slots for a request (I see, I want, Point to), and a six-picture match (peacock, flamingo, dove, eagle, swan, penguin): the child matches the identical card onto its picture.
• Name That Bird Board (page 9 in color, page 10 in ink-saver) — three naming slots (That is a, Show me, Find the), and the same six-picture match printed and cut apart a second time, with its own full set of cards.

The Words

• What's Outside? cards (6): peacock, flamingo, dove, eagle, swan, penguin
• Name That Bird cards (6): the same six words, printed and cut apart on their own sheet
• Home page — the same six cards, sized for the kitchen table

Every picture was chosen to be named in one word by a young child, in color AND in the black-and-white set, and checked against every other live binder's own word list so no word repeats across the collection. Six words is this collection's picture-per-board floor exactly, so instead of a thin two-way topic split this binder runs the same six-word bank through a second, differently-framed board (see the module docstring for the full word-by-word check).

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the tracker, the organizer, the home page and the family update, or print and use a pen. The board pages print on cardstock or plain paper; the card band cuts off the bottom and the board stays whole. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a test of anything.

It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or physical-guidance procedure, and it does not decide what a count means for a student or when a board is done with. It makes no claim about where any pictured bird actually lives or how it behaves; every card is a picture-naming and picture-matching activity. The tracker counts which boards were done and what help was given, and nothing else.

Who This Is For

Special education teachers and paraprofessionals running functional-vocabulary or naming practice with early, pre-reading or low-verbal students, case managers who need that practice to show up as data, and the families who get the home page.

More In The Collection

This binder is part of the Morning Work & Adapted Books Collection; more matching binders are being added to the collection regularly, all on the same boards-plus-tracker shape.
