Basic literacy, mathematics, science, social studies and creative arts all require good cognitive skills. Children who are actively engaged in learning show persistence, creativity and initiative and curiosity.
There are four I See I Learn books that focus on cognitive skills:
• Freda Plans a Picnic and there's a lot to do! First she has to to invite her friend from Ready Set Pre-K. Then (with mom's help), she has to pack the picnic basket. There's lots to do at the picnic itself and then there's clean up! All the steps add up to a fun-filled time! The ability to recall events in proper order–what happens first, what comes next, and what occurs last is important for story comprehension, mathematics, following directions, planning, and other life skills. (en Espanõl) (related video)
• Left, Right, Emma! is the story of Emma, who loves to march around the house with her wonderful Pickle. Now she's been asked to lead a march at Ready Set Pre-K. How will Emma know when to turn left and when to turn right? Understanding basic directions allows young children to follow instructions, give others directions, and develop strong spatial sense.
• Percy's Neighborhood is a story about how Percy and his daddy meet their neighbors while passing out flyer for the Neighborhood Fun Run. They meet a doctor, a firefighter, a police officer adn a librarian and other community helpers. As children learn more about their neighborhood, they will better understand how a society functions.
• Write On, Carlos! is about how Carlos learned how to write his own name—just like his friends at Ready Set Pre-K can. He practices over and over again. See how proud Carlos is to show his friends what he can do. Learning how to write one’s own name helps a child learn how to recognize and form letters and leads to writing more words. (en Espanõl)
