Developing the Early Learner...

...is a series of workbooks that S and I have been working on. You can see in the picture a page of sequencing. He had to color what came first blue, second green, and last red. Technically, he got them all wrong. But when you think like S does, you get them all right. Here is an example of a sequencing problem: What comes first? A chicken or an egg? He has had that problem twice now. Other problems show picking a flower and then putting it in a vase, etc.Today's problems were like this: The top line shows a hand playing with a truck, a truck on a flat line with a price tag underneath, and a truck being taken out of a box. Obviously, one would buy a truck off a store shelf, take it out of the box, and then play with it. But the truck is not pictured in a box on the shelf. S sees first a truck being taken out of a box, being played with, and left on the floor. The third line shows a person getting their hair brushed, the person with short messy hair, and a person with a long braid. To us regular people we sequence messy hair first, brushed hair second, and braided hair third. S sees long braided hair first, brushing hair second because they are getting ready for a haircut, and a person who just got a short hair cut to look like a boy third. As long as S can explain his answers to me, he gets them all right. Another good reason to homeschool.
