Paying close and careful attention to what is being asked is a critical skill for school success. Plus, it helps improve problem solving and reduce frustration. Fun activities in this Following Directions workbook from the Get Ready!^TM series include positional words, shapes, numbers, and colors. “Draw a triangle around the pear,” and “Color the t-shirt purple” are more than simple commands. They help young minds think through steps and evaluate problems and possibilities. Learning to follow directions will build your child’s confidence and help prepare him or her for school. With some reading help from you, combined with visual cues, your child can master “doing what it says.”
