Sherston Skill Builders - Identification Skills is designed to focus your child’s attention on the development of picture/word associations and the different attributes of given objects, both fundamental in learning to identify and sort objects.
At the same time there are opportunities for the development of listening skills, vocabulary extension and the ability to follow instructions.

It is essential for children to acquire good listening skills if they are to develop their knowledge and understanding of the world. Successful listening skills enable the young child to differentiate sounds, a crucial element in developing phonic awareness. Listening Skills provides a means by which children may engage and interact with a much wider range of ‘virtual’ artefacts than might otherwise be possible. The four listening activities encourage children to process what they have heard in order to recall the sounds and order of objects, letters and numbers.

Matching is the ability to discriminate visually, recognising the differing criteria of size, shape and colour. The ability to discriminate is fundamental to early literacy and numeracy development. Matching Skills provides a means by which children may engage and interact with a much wider range of ‘virtual’ artefacts (from eight different topic areas) than might otherwise be possible. The four activities encourage children to consider the different criteria by which things can be matched and promotes plenty of vocabulary extension.

Skill Builders - Memory Skills is designed to reinforce verbal instructions with visual images. Verbal instructions are 'chunked' into small, simple phrases which can be repeated through use of the Repeat Speech Button. The activities are ideal for teaching children 'silent rehearsal' techniques. The facility to work with between two and five images provides differentiation and allows for progression.

The activities on Sherston Skill Builders - Observation Skills are designed to sharpen observation skills. Observation skills are central to the development of scientific knowledge and vital for the development of mathematical concepts such as pattern and shape. A child's ability to recognise and discriminate numbers, letters and symbols depends on his or her ability to look closely and carefully in order to distinguish between similar shapes such as 5 and S, or 9, b, d, p and q or h, n and m.

Sorting is the ability to distinguish objects and images by some common quality or characteristic. It is important for children to acquire this skill in order to understand that objects can be grouped according to shared features and uses. The ability to sort is fundamental to core curriculum subjects. To be able to distinguish between numbers, symbols and letters is essential to the early development of numeracy and literacy skills. The four activities in Sorting Skills encourage children to practise and refine these skills.
