Frequently asked questions

When should children know left from right?
Most children master it around age 6–7, but mix-ups are common for a long time. A constant cue such as a band on the left wrist helps.
How do I read “3 →”?
The number says how many squares to move, the arrow which way. Draw along the grid lines, starting from the green dot.
What if my child makes a mistake?
That's normal. Go back to the last correct point and count squares together aloud — or simply start again on a fresh copy.
