Patterns
Seeing simple repeating patterns. Your child says each pattern out loud, then circles the picture that comes next.
How to help
Say the pictures in order, like fish, leaf, fish, leaf. The part that repeats tells you what comes next.
- patternthings that repeat in the same order
- repeathappen again and again
- nextthe one that comes after
Watch for: Picking the picture they like best instead of the next one. Losing the pattern when it has three parts, like fish, fish, leaf.
At home: Clap patterns together (clap, pat, clap, pat) or line up spoons and forks, and ask what comes next.
