Why Teach Go Togethers
Learning to match objects that go together (such as a bowl and spoon) is an important skill to master. It helps students to learn how to classify items and identify relationships between them.
Matching items helps a student to think critically and to practice problem solving skills. It is also an opportunity to practice visual discrimination, which is the ability to discern the similarities and differences between objects. Visual discrimination is a critical skill for many areas of learning, including reading.
