About this resource
What Makes A Card Harder, And The One Pair That Never Meets
This box asks for one thing only: look at the printed letter on top, then find its twin among the tiles below — visual matching, not phonics, so no card asks a child to say a letter's sound out loud. Nearly any two letters are allowed to land on one card — telling them apart is the whole point — with a single exception. Mirror a capital B and it becomes a D, the one reversal early readers mix up most often, so the build keeps that pair off every card.
- Level 1 — 6 cards, 2 tiles: the match against one other letter.
- Level 2 — 6 cards, 3 tiles: the match against two other letters.
- Level 3 — 6 cards, 4 tiles: the match against three other letters, asking only for a longer look across the row, never a close call between two letters that look alike.
From card to card at every level, the matching tile moves to a different spot in the row (never sitting first every time), so a student who is guessing by position instead of reading the letter shows up clearly on the data sheet.
A dot code tucked in the corner — one, two or three dots — is the only place a card's level ever appears, so a box that gets shuffled sorts itself back out.
What This Is, And What It Isn'T
Type straight into the data sheet, the graph header, the family page and the example-style notes, or print it all and use a pen — either way, this is a fillable PDF. Cards and the letter list are meant for cardstock or plain paper, cut along dashed lines, six to a sheet, every cut a straight line. No account and no subscription; it opens and works offline. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or a word-processor document, it is NOT a phonics program (no card asks for a letter sound, a rhyme, or a word), and it isn't a test of anything.
No prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule rides along inside it, and nothing here decides what a percent should mean for a student or when a level change is due. The goal line and the criterion field stay blank, waiting on your district's own wording and your team's own number. What it tracks is narrow and specific: how many cards had the matching tile marked correctly.
Who This Is For
Special education teachers and paraprofessionals running independent work stations, file-folder tasks or task box rotations for students ready to match printed letters by sight; case managers who need that practice turned into data; and the families who take the practice page home.
More In The Collection
This set belongs to the Task Box Collection, where new sort, counting, matching and sequencing boxes keep joining the same cards-plus-data shape on a regular basis.
