Opposites & Visual Skills Teaching Supplies (2 products)

teaching materials - oppositesOpposites & Visual Skills

Grade Level: Preschool - Grade 1

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.

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.

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