Programming from left to right

1. (See next page for directions)

15 1. (Continued)Comment that the wind is blowing the first flag in each row toward the right.Pupils are to look at the two other flags in each row and underline the one that the wind is blowing toward the left.Pupils may color the flags in each. row, using the same color for the two like flags.

2. Pictures of cars,tr-'-1,or bicycles some of which point clearly to the right, some to the left, can be used to help children distinguish left from right. Pupils can arrange them in two rows on the holder, one row in which all vehicles are going toward the right and another row in which all are going toward the left.

3. To give children practice in left-to-right progression, duplicate or draw on the board a series of simple add -on pictures, for children to copy.The first picture (left) will be the base, the middle ones will add details, and the last (right) will be complete.

Pupils repeat the patte n, filling up the rest of the paper.

See if pupils can fill in:

b, Relative Size

An exercise sheet or board divided into squares can be used for visual discrimination. For example, you might paste or draw circles in graduated sizes 1.n the first row of boxes,' squares in the next, then triangles.An envelope clipped to the back, should contain identical pieces which a youngster is to match with the ones on the board. 0 0 0

16 d. Coordinating eye and hand movements:

Pupil Book Activity

1. Draw picture of favorite animal and put squeaker (100 store) behind picture. Press for sound. (Page 2 of child's booklet)

Large Group Activities

1. Pre-record childreng-s voices saying, "My name is(lonq pause) Joan." See if classmates can identify the mystery voice.

2. Put directions on tape that require an active response from individual students.

3. The record album Sounds Around Us (an album of records that stimulates auditory and visual imagery - Scott, Foresman & Co.) can be used for independent work in identifying sounds. After bays and girls have listened to and discussed with you the first two records in the album- "Around the House" and "Around the Farm"- replay a part of either record. Then let children draw pictures that tell about the sounds they recall: father sawing a board, mother running the vacuum, etc. This exercise encourages good listening habits.

4. Children bring from home things to hear.They can be dis- played on a table.

5. Objects made from clay that have sounds.

6. Describing Time-Have the group decide how they will des- cribe a particular child. Then chant in a sing song manner as follows: Example- Mary wears her red dress, red dress, red dress, Mary wears her red dress all day long.
