Visual Learners -  This label encompasses many children. Children who are visual learners may have acquired other labels along the way, including dyslexia, autism, etc. These learners may have a difficult time remembering the name of each letter and have an especially hard time relating sounds to letter symbols. When visual learners are working on reading, memorization is not their strong suit. They need something to help them learn the way they learn best, which is in pictures. They are picture thinkers who don't learn by memorizing details and then constructing a whole out of them. They capture information all at once, just like a camera snaps a photo.

Child1st addresses the needs of visual learners by designing products that teach all at once through visuals.

SnapLetters™ Teaching Cards (ABC-T)
 Use these charming and colorful alphabet cards for close-up instruction with one or a group of children as you learn the letter shapes and sounds together. Images are instantly snapped in children's memories, tying letter and sound together, and thus avoiding future problems connecting the two. Mini-lessons from Writing the Visual, Kinesthetic, and Auditory Alphabet are printed on the back of each card, making it a cinch for the teacher to present new letters and sounds, teach tips for letter formation, know which order to teach the writing of the letters, and much more. No lesson planning needed! The Teaching Cards are a wonderful follow-up to Alphabet Tales which introduces each letter through story and illustrations, as both the Display and Teaching Cards include the visual that is introduced in Alphabet Tales. Cards are perfect for displaying in a pocket chart; use them to put letters side by side to form words for sounding out. Each card is 5.5” wide by 4.25” tall.

Alphabet Tales (ABC-S)
 Want to encourage an early love of reading in your child? Start her out with Alphabet Tales. Each tale tells a story about how the letter came to have its shape and sound, creating a quirky, yet memorable learning experience. Charming illustrations enhance this meaningful learning/story time for all types of learners, but especially for visual, right-brained, kinesthetic learners. Embedding learning in stories makes it nearly impossible for any child to forget the all-important story content, so reading Alphabet Tales draws every child into the joys of learning to read. 111 full-color pages, spiral bound for ease of use.

SnapWords™ Teaching Cards (SWAENC1)
 SnapWords™ Cards are essentials for teaching sight word recognition to a wide variety of learners. But that's not all. Beyond just recognizing the words, the tools on the reverse of the card move children beyond calling out words to really understanding what they mean and how to use them in sentences. The reverse of each card displays the word without a visual and describes a hand motion for the word - a necessary tool for many kinesthetic learners and dyslexic children. In addition, a sentence using the word and coordinating with the visual on the front of the card focuses children's attentions to the meaning of the word and how it is used in everyday communication. These images have proven to be the turning point for children who had not made progress through any other means. Over 300 words, including all the Dolch high frequency words and the Fountas & Pinnell 100 most frequently recurring words. Each card is 5.5” wide by 4.25” tall.

Easy-for-Me™ Teaching Kit (EFM-TK)
The EFM Teaching Kit contains everything you need to teach 1-6 children to read. The multisensory materials empower you to reach a diverse group of learning styles at one time while ensuring that no child is left out. The program is especially effective in closing gaps in understanding for children who have missed out on some basic skills and are not progressing as they should be. The materials are also perfect for beginners, and if used as outlined, prevent learning difficulties for many children who would otherwise struggle in learning to read.

Testimonial
"One night I was searching online for different ways to teach sight words to kids who are visual learners. I was specifically looking for word cards that had visuals for easy sight words like "is, it, the," etc. I came across Child1st Publications and saw immediately what I was looking for. I only started using them a week ago and I can already see a big difference. I teach in a first grade inclusion class and I started using them for all the kids and intensely with my visual learners. The kids love them; I even take them to the cafeteria when I have lunch duty. It's awesome to see the kids building their confidence in reading!"

Visual-Spatial Learners are...

Visual, not Auditory
They remember what they see and forget what they hear.

Spatial, not Sequential
What steps?

Holistic, not Detail-Oriented
Give me the BIG PICTURE !

Focused on Ideas, not Format
Who needs punctuation?

Pattern-Seeking
Patterns, patterns everywhere --- obvious to everyone after a spatial sees them.

Divergent, not Convergent
Trail blazing is the name of the game. How many things can a paper clip do ?

Sensitive and I n t e n s e
Feelings rule! I can’t possibly do that now!
