Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: For infants, patterning is recognizing the human face with eyes, nose, and mouth in a specific place. For older infants, looking in a mirror helps them place their face in the same pattern.
Read the same book repeatedly so that they will soon begin to read the story
along with the you. This experience helps place the events of the story in a sequencing pattern.
For preschoolers and older children, stringing beads or putting pegs in a pegboard in a specific pattern, such as blue, red, green, and yellow, is visual patterning. The younger children can duplicate the pattern and the older children can duplicate and extend it.

Auditory patterning is repeating or singing sounds (such as soft, loud, soft, loud, soft)
over and over again and then having the children repeat the sequence.
Tactile patterning can be enhanced by creating a texture board with articles that are smooth, rough, smooth, rough, smooth.

Instead of talking about a pattern, you can read the pattern using simple vocabulary: circle, square, circle, square, circle, square or a, b, a, b, a, b. Create a pattern physically: jump, jump, clap, clap, jump, jump, clap, clap. With linking cubes the plus-one pattern can be visually shared with children.
