Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to give the parents ideas and exercises to do with their children at home to support their learning process.

Some of the suggestions were taken from the High Reach Program and others from the Student Support Service (JFK-Preschool), the videos from youtube and the pictures from google.


The activities are classified in areas: Math, Language, Social-emotional and Motor Skills.
I hope you will find these suggestions fun and useful.

Please feel free to add comments in English or Spanish.

Color Recognition

Color recognition can be defined as “the ability to identify and name basic colors”.

Color recognition can actually be broken down into separate skills – matching, identifying, and naming.

When matching a child can find the matching color when shown an example. This is the first step in color recognition. The child perceives the differences between the colors.

Identifying is the next step. Identifying focuses on the ability to identify a color when named.

The final step is naming. In this step the child can name the color when asked.

Color recognition is a skill children begin to develop at a young age. Their level of understanding will gradually progress from matching to identifying to naming.




Activity 1:

Have your child sort fruits and vegetables by color. As he/she sorts, encourage him/her to name the colors.





Activity 2: Sock sorting




Provide clean socks in assorted sizes and colors. Children may sort and match the socks as they choose. Ask them to name the colors.
