Learning Skills

Letter names: Letter names
Young children typically recite or sing the alphabet before they recognise individual letters. By Pre-school they begin to identify letters by name and shape.
Letter sounds: Letter sounds
Before they can learn to read, children must learn letters and their sounds. Once children associate printed letters to sounds, they can begin to sound out words for reading and spelling.
Counting to 10: Counting to 10
As language skills develop, some toddlers display the ability to count things up to 5 by applying number names to items in order. Preschoolers often recite numbers to 10 (but not always in the right order).
Sequencing: Sequencing
Infants understand sequence in terms of time. By 18 months, some toddlers can recite number names in order, and some develop the ability to count things by applying number names to items in order.
Matching: Matching
Matching develops early logic and reasoning skills and is a component of early maths and literacy. Children match like objects, shapes, patterns, pictures and stories, letters to sounds and pictures to words.
Recognising and extending patterns: Recognising and extending patterns
The ability to extend, complete and duplicate patterns by determining the specific attributes of those patterns is a logical reasoning skill that forms that basis for future work in maths.
