- Early reading: Hearing rhymes, recognising first sight words like “the”, “and” and “is”, and matching words to pictures.
- Thinking skills: Memory, concentration and taking turns, all practised in memory matching games.
- Number sense: Counting objects, recognising small numbers and noticing patterns in everyday play.
