The Forgotten Milestone: A Children's Coloring & Activity Book for Pattern Recognition, an Essential yet Overlooked Component of Childhood Deve (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947508019)

Pattern Recognition is one of our most important cognitive skills, yet it is surprisingly underrepresented in childhood education. This book was developed to fill that void using fun learning activities.

Pattern Recognition is part of the cognitive toolset we use for problem solving in subjects like Math, Science and Language. It is used in conjunction with inductive reasoning to not only identify the patterns of a problem, but help us determine the most logical path toward a solution.

Pattern recognition and inductive reasoning actually form the basis for scientific inquiry itself, so early exposure to these types of exercises are a critical foundation for all other learning.The exercises in this book were designed to not only help develop skills in pattern recognition, problem solving and analytical thinking, but to also help reinforce a child's natural fondness for discovery.

This book is recommended for children ages 3 to 10. Each activity can be a little more or less challenging for a child depending on his or her individual experience level, so guiding the child through the exercises is encouraged.

Whether you are homeschooling or simply looking for an addition to your summertime reading list, this book is worth a look.
