How Parents Can Use This Practice

Ask your child to describe how the first two pictures are related before looking at the answer choices. Encourage short explanations such as “a bird lives in a nest” or “a key opens a lock.”

  • Keep practice sessions short and positive.
  • Ask your child to explain the pattern or relationship in simple words.
  • Use missed questions to talk through the reasoning step, not just the answer.
