What is visual discrimination

Basically, visual discrimination is when children can notice differences in letters, numbesr, and pictures so they can recognize them or classify them. For toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners learning letter discimination to tell alphabet letters apart can be tricky. This fun straight and curved lines kindergarten activity helps children to start noticing the difference between letters.

Visual discrimination

To prepare:

• A4 paper
• Printer
• Scissors
• Laminator

For these mats, you can choose to laminate it or place it into a plastic sleeve. I used it in a binder as an insert. You can do it either way. Laminating it is a great option if you’re just wanting to use it year on year.

Straight and curved lines kindergarten

Use this super simple activity to help kids learn to discriminate and differentiate between the letters of the alphabet. Learning to do this is essential as it allows the kids to notice the small differences between the letters to identify the look of the letters with curves and no curves and place them into the correct beehive. You can also have the kids write the letters they sorted in their books. This is the easiest way you could set that up, but also plenty of other ways if you find that doesn’t work for you.

This sorting activity can be played in a group, in fact it works great in a group of 2-3 kids. Have them sort the bees in pairs or 3’s. You will then see them talking about each letter and identifying its features. You could also totally have them glue the bees into the beehives. If you print in black and white even better!

Kids will love sorting the alphabet letters and talking about their features, it will help them identify the alphabet more easily too, and this in turn provides a photo memory of each letter as they sort through them.
