Along with fine and gross motor activities, each lesson plan in the 4 and 5 Year Curriculum contains visual perception activities.  Visual perception is the translation between the eyes and the brain.  Correct translation is imperative to reading and writing.  These activities can help correct visual perception issues as well as strengthen the brain and eye communication. 

While one activity may be difficult for your child, another activity may be simple. Choose any area from the list of ABCJLM Visual Perception Worksheets to begin.   The worksheets in most of the categories below increase in difficulty.  Spend more time on areas with which your child is struggling. 

All worksheets are in PDF format.

Cutting

While cutting worksheets are not typical visual perception activities, I wanted to include these on this page as children with visual perception issues often struggle with cutting skills.  Teach the child to cut in the middle of the black line.  Dominant hand does the cutting while the other hand moves the paper.   Elbows should not point out while cutting.  If this happens, the paper needs to be moved.

Tracking

The tracking worksheets help the child begin the process of looking from left to right and top to bottom.  Encourage the child to search for the given item as if they would read a book.  A child may need to point to each letter/character with his/her finger.  These worksheets increase in difficulty.
