Divide a slate or a sheet of paper into four, six, nine or twelve
sections. Beginning with four and increasing the number as the child
progresses. Draw in each section some picture, number, letter or
object, as illustrated. Let the child look at those which you have
arranged and then close his eyes and look away and tell what is in each
of the squares. If he is old enough, let him take a piece of paper and
reproduce the squares and their contents. For variety the squares can
contain all letters, all numbers, or all objects.
