This workbook focuses specifically on those important fine motor skills that many children struggle with and that all children need in order to be successful as they enter school. Skills that seem natural to adults need to be learned. These foundational skills are sometimes difficult and frustrating for children at first.

In this book, we will teach the skills, learn fine motor coordination activities that will enhance the skills, have practice activities for the skills, and provide worksheets to perfect the skills. You will see a definite progression in the child's skill development as he or she progresses through the activities in the book.

These easy-to-use workbooks are great for enrichment, classroom practice, tutoring, home schooling, or just for fun!

First Grade Opposites & Visual Skills Teaching Materials (3 products)

teaching materials - oppositesOpposites & Visual Skills

Grade Level: Preschool - Grade 1
Price: $7.99
Product #: 1003229
Sample Pages

Qty:


This book teaches students opposites, classifying, understanding the similarities and differences in objects, positional words, and right and left. These are skills children need to enhance language development and to help begin the emergent stages of reading.

You will be delighted as you watch your students discover how interesting and fun learning can be all year long with the gradual sequence of one-page, easy-to-follow, enjoyable practice activities. The pages are great for enrichment, classroom practice, tutoring, home schooling, or just for fun!

Within this activity book, students will be exposed to four main tasks that will have lasting benefits needed for beginning formal reading.

Visual Discrimination: These pages increase critical thinking skills through classification. Recognizing and comparing likenesses and differences in objects and pictures will help later in the discrimination of numbers and letters.

Positional Words: These pages build and extend knowledge and vocabulary through language concepts and comparison in a concrete, meaningful way.

Opposites: The study of opposites helps stimulate basic thinking skills, use descriptive words, and enhances recall through language development, association, and generalization.

Left and Right: Learning left and right is more than learning an opposite concept. Understanding the concept of left to right will aid children beginning to read. Knowledge of left and right encourages a natural flow of the proper reading direction and helps develop skills in abstract thinking.

Testimonials

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
