Dino – Perception Training – is today’s freebie:
Arrange dinos from small to big, find the dino that is exactly the same, and find pieces from a picture. These exercises train visual and spatial perception and attention – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.
Today’s freebie contains 3 worksheets. Children have to find a given shape. They can color or circle the shape. These exercises train attention and visual perception – important skills for good reading, writing, and calculating.
Today’s freebie offers you various robots and a spacecraft. Children have to draw these into the grid, mirror them or make them smaller or bigger. Children are counting, comparing up and down and left and right. This trains attention, eye-hand-coordination and visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing and calculating.
Today’s freebie contains tracing and pattern exercises. Children can either trace the shapes or they can trace the shapes and complete the pattern. Let them use different pens and colors. You can also laminate the exercises. Children can do the tracing with a dry-erase pen. This is a good alternative for children who have difficulties with tracing. Knowing that they can erase their tracing seems helpful for them. Tracing and pattern exercises train attention and visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.
Monday’s freebie was quite a success on Pinterest, so we decided to offer some more picture chaos. This time, we used black-and-white graphics from Cre8tiveHands. Again, children have to order the mixed-up pictures. This trains attention and visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.
Over at openclipart.org, we have seen a nice penguin that has been waiting for an appearance in our worksheets for a while. The penguin, with all its disguises, is perfect for today’s freebie Picture chaos. The pictures are mixed up, and children have to put the numbers in the correct order. The penguins are also added as a template for those who have great difficulty with this kind of exercise. You can use the templates as memory cards. These exercises train attention and visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.
Only three more weeks and it is Easter again. Therefore, today’s freebie contains a worksheet with reading and coloring. We like this kind of exercise because it combines many skills: reading, looking, comparing – all important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.
