Spot On! Early Functions

Master the “why” and “how” of everyday objects!

Give your early learners a head start in language development with Spot On! Early Functions. This interactive resource focuses on the purpose of everyday objects—what we use them for and what we do with them. Because every answer is presented as a high-quality photograph, it is the perfect tool for pre-readers and visual learners to build essential functional language skills.

Functional vocabulary made simple and fun!

The Spot On! Pen (sold separately) turns learning about object functions into an engaging, self-correcting game. Whether a student is identifying “what we use to brush our teeth” or “what we wear on our feet,” the immediate green light and positive audio feedback provide instant validation, keeping motivation high and frustration low.

Covers a wide range of functional language targets:

• Object Purpose: Identifying the primary use of common household and classroom items.

• Action-Object Association: Connecting verbs to the correct nouns.

• Photo-Based Learning: No reading required! High-quality images make this accessible for early learners, English Language Learners (ELL), and students with diverse needs.

• 100 Unique Activities: 50 double-sided cards ensure a massive variety of targets to prevent memorization.

How to Use:

1. The Prompt: Read the functional question on the card (e.g., “What do we use to cut paper?”).

2. The Logic: Have the student look at the various photo choices and identify the object that fits the function.

3. The Spot On! Moment: Touch the Spot On! Pen (sold separately) to the dot. A green light means you found the right tool!

4. The Extension: Once the answer is found, ask the student to mime the action to solidify the connection between the object and its function.
