How to help

Look at each picture and ask: is it the same kind? Circle it if it is, and skip it if it isn't.

Watch for: Missing one in a busy row. Circling one that looks a little alike but isn't the same kind.

At home: Sort the laundry by socks and shirts, or toys by cars and animals. Ask why each one goes where it does.
