Dot to dot: fish

What your child practises

Careful looking, visual attention and counting – skills that also help with reading and maths.

What’s included

• 23 dots to join
• An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
• An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 4–9. That’s Pre-K – Grade 4 in the US, Reception – Year 5 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 4 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 4 in India.

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
• Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
• Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Puzzles make great early-finisher or calm-down activities – keep a few printed copies in a folder.
2. 2Mark each find with a highlighter or coloured pencil; seeing progress keeps children going.
3. 3Ask your child to teach you one thing from the sheet; explaining is a great test of understanding.
