Visually stimulating activities with simple directions introduce young learners to new concepts and academic skills while offering lots of enjoyable practice.

Patterns are part of our everyday lives. Wherever we look, we see patterns. There are patterns in nature, in fabrics, in floor tiles, and even tire tracks! There are patterns in numbers, words, colors, and rhythms. Breaking down patterns and creating or identifying patterns help children begin to break down codes in reading, math, writing, and spelling.

This book is an introduction to different types of patterns designed to enhance an awareness of shapes, pictures, letters, numbers, and words.

Sequencing is another important standard for young children to understand. Figuring out sequences is vital for solving problems in everyday situations. Children learn to follow directions in a sequence. Organization of thoughts is also connected to sequencing. A variety of activities have been included to help your child use sequencing skills effectively and to give him or her the tools needed to transfer these skills to everyday situations.
