Preschool Language Arts: Visual Skills

9/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Our goal, as preschool teachers, is to expose every child to each of the skills required for a strong foundation in reading and writing.There are five main areas into which we group our Language Arts Standards: Fine Motor Skills, Auditory Skills, Visual Skills, Thinking/Conceptual, and Language.

This blog entry will cover the Academic Standards that fall under Visual Skills.
Picture
Visual Memory - This is the ability to remember and repeat a sequence of pictures or colors that has been presented solely through visual means. 
Visual Figure-Ground Discrimination - Visual Figure-Ground Discrimination in the ability to distinguish an object from it's background.
Design Matching
Can Determine Alike/Different
Part-to-Whole
Picture
Design Copying
Closure - Closure is the ability to recognize an object even when a child can only see part of it. Later, this will help  the child to quickly recognize words by their general shape or arrangement of letters without having to attend to each individual letter.
Visual Skills are just one small part of preschool Language Arts. We have broken Visual Skills into seven standards:

Visual Memory
Visual Figure-Ground Discrimination
Design Matching
Can Determine Alike/Different
Part-to-Whole
Design Copying
Closure

In our classroom, each lesson, game or classroom material has been intentionally planned and placed in the room to fulfill our Academic Content Standards.
