20 Essential Skills: Colors, Counting, Writing, Coloring, Following Directions

Over 50 pages covering 20 Essential Skills students will build on as they go through school--with pages of differentiation. Progress Reports for these skills included by student and group of students.

20 Essential Skills: Shapes, Drawing, Building, Following Directions

80 pages covering 20 Essential Skills students will build on as they go through school--with pages of differentiation. Progress Reports for these skills included by student and group of students.

Many of these essential skills are learned in preschool and early kindergarten. However, some students in elementary and even secondary schools have still not mastered these essential skills. The Essential Skills Series allows students of any age to work on those early skills.

Differentiation and Graduated Levels

Resources in the Essential Skills Series have differentiated levels of an activity. Students in a group at different skill levels can be working on similar work at the same time. Students can grow into higher levels as they build their skills. A teacher or therapist can put the pages together in a booklet for the student to continue into higher levels of the same skill over time.

These two products Help Students to Build Toward These Common Core Standards

K.G.A.1: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.

K.G.A.2: Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

K.G.A.3: Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

K.G.B.4: Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length) .

K.G.B.5: Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.

K.G.B.6: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?”

K.CC.A.1: Count to 100 by ones and by tens

K.CC.A.3: Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).

K.CC.B.4a: When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.

K.CC.B.4b: Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.

K.CC.B.5: Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
