Note : � Start by drawing 9‐dot square patterns with 3 dots per line on two sheets of paper as shown . o Connect dots to create shapes or patterns o Increase the difficulty by connecting more dots on larger grid patterns , like 4x4 , 5x5 , and up to 6x6 square patterns as the person progresses . � Do the 4 tasks in sequence from 1 to 4 . �
You will first draw a pattern on one page and ask that the pattern be copied on the other page . � Repeat each task using a different square until it is done successfully on consecutive times . � Expand the number of dots in a grid as warranted by success .
Tasks : 1 . Draw a line connecting 2 dots in one of the squares . 2 . Draw a straight line connecting 3 dots in one of the squares . 3 . Draw a line connecting 4 dots in one square without letting the lines cross . 4 . Draw shapes by connecting dots ( square , triangle , rectangle , etc .) 5 . Make random patterns without lines crossing . 6 . Make random patterns with lines crossing
Level 5 Notes :
� Draw 2 parallel lines on a page . o The lines should be between 1 ” to 2 ” apart to serve as a guide .
Task : � Copy or write a 3 letter word between the 2 parallel lines . � Copy or write a 4 letter word between the 2 parallel lines .
Level 6 Notes :
� Draw 2 parallel lines on a page . o The lines should be between 1 ” to 2 ” apart to serve as a guide .
Task : �
Copy or write different letters of the alphabet between the 2 parallel lines .
