When teaching matching skills, I like to start with errorless matching activities so that students understand where to place the pictures and how to complete the task. Next, I present one matching card at a time. As students get more proficient with the skill, I give them more than one card to match at a time, until they are finally able to complete the task independently. I like to start with matching identical pictures first, then move to matching non-identical pictures, and finally to matching words to pictures.
