If you look closely at letters, you'll notice they are made of a variety of shapes and lines. Circles and lines intersecting at different angles are common shapes in letters. A preschooler who is able to distinguish between shapes is better equipped to notice the differences in shapes of letters. Kids who have practice with different types of shapes and lines can translate those into reading and writing on paper. Like letters, numbers come from the combination of different lines and shapes. A strong understanding of shapes can help preschoolers better recognize the numbers and how they look.Having a solid understanding of shapes by the end of preschool gives the students a head start in meeting those early geometry standards for years to come.
