How I Spy Books are Made video
Picture
One of the best uses of I SPY books is for teaching kids about visual discrimination. The ability to recognize visual details in a picture helps kids to later discriminate between the shapes of different letters — a fundamental reading skill. We all know how similar certain letters can look, especially b, d, p, and q. Asking kids to develop an eye for details in pictures enhances their skills in recognizing letters printed in unfamiliar fonts, for example.
