These children are having a great time playing mail person and mailing letters! They are sorting the sticks (mail) into the correct cartons. They are practicing visual discrimination (the ability to identify differences in visual images) skills. This is important for successful reading (and, in math, for discriminating numbers and symbols). We work on these skills with our students all year long because proficiency in visual discrimination eliminates letter reversals and the misreading of similar words like 'was' and 'saw'.
