Can Your Child Spot Something
In A Busy Background?

Can your child find a toy in a messy cupboard, and spot his/her socks in a pile of laundry?

Can your child easily spot words in a dictionary, and accurately copy information off a busy board?

Figure-ground perception activities can help to build this useful skill!

Figure-ground perception is the ability to visually spot or focus on an object (the "figure") in a busy background (the "ground").

This skill helps us to not lose our place on the page when reading, and helps us find information on a busy noticeboard or blackboard. Working with a map or a dictionary also requires good figure-ground perception skills.

I have two pages on my site that have free, photographed activities to help you build this visual perceptual skill with your child.

There is a page of simple figure-ground activities for younger kids (toddlers and preschool) and a page of information and figure-ground perception activities that could help elementary grade kids.
