Description
Help transition students build job readiness with a clear, age-respectful way to practice following one-, two-, and three-step directions. This 42-card Boom Cards deck moves from identifying an action and key detail to completing ordered workplace tasks, checking each step, and asking for clarification when directions are unclear. Students work with familiar materials such as folders, trays, towels, baskets, pencils, and pouches. Six structured learning cycles include 24 photo-based teaching cards and 18 multiple-choice checks. Picture directions and checklists support sequence, attention to detail, functional reading, and self-monitoring. Use the deck for special education transition, vocational skills, life skills, employment transition, job readiness, small-group instruction, supported independent practice, or a teacher-led warm-up. Pair digital practice with hands-on rehearsal so students can apply the same routine to real tasks. Communication and individualized supports can be used throughout.
