Connect The Dots

Connect the Dot activities are a great time filler. They can be used during quiet or transition time in the day. These activities teach the concept of alphabet, number, symbols, and shape identification and recognition. They also serve as a great writing practice tool.  For this activity, I drew a helpful teaching tool to accompany the activity. I wrote alphabets in a row with arrow keys to show where to go next. Then I pointed to the next alphabet to guide my son along as he connected the dots using a pencil. At first, I had let him try it himself but he was confused. Then I gave him the visual guide and he flew through the rest of the page.

Lesson learned: Visual tools or cues go a long way in teaching the learner.
