Description
Teach two-step directions with temporal concepts using this highly structured Boom Card deck targeting first, before, and after. Designed for lower elementary students who benefit from explicit instruction, simple language, repetition, and guided practice, this resource breaks temporal directions into small, manageable steps before asking students to follow directions independently. The deck begins with direct teaching of FIRST, BEFORE, and AFTER using simple definitions, visual-friendly examples, and repeated models. Guided practice helps students learn that the wording of a direction may change even when the required order stays the same. Students progress from identifying what happens first and second to following two-step directions containing temporal concepts. The final 9 practice cards use simple clickable items and directions such as “First click X, then click Y,” “Before you click Y, click X,” and “After you click X, click Y.” Perfect for speech-language therapy, receptive language intervention, special education, autism support, teletherapy, and elementary language instruction.
