Tracing, recognizing mirrored images, counting pictures, and finding differences – all these exercises are included in today’s freebie. These exercises combine different skills necessary for good reading, writing, and calculating. Use these exercises when training dyslexic and dyscalculic children. Of course, you can also use them for homeschooling, tutoring, or extra training.
Today’s freebie contains a Christmas matching game. There are twice twenty cards which have to be matched. But take care and look carefully: The cards seem to be the same, but every card is different.
This trains visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.
Children love pictures from space. With today’s freebie, they can trace a picture and then draw it into a grid. For those who are already good at drawing, there is no grid. This kind of exercise is also good for children who tend to draw everything very small.
Many children with dyscalculia have difficulties with grasping amounts or with terms such as “less than…” or “more than…”. With today’s freebie, this can be practiced within the number range of 1 to 10. Children have to count and to compare monsters. However, according to the AFS method, you should not just practice calculating skills, but also sensory perception. Therefore, exercises for visual and spatial perception are included.
