• Putting Pieces Together – Model self-talk. “OK, now I’ve got it! The picture of the pencil is for yellow”

• Repeat the Sounds – “Now I’m going to say the word aloud to myself and listen for the y sound.y-y-y-yellow.”

Puzzle Solving Skills – Model your self-talk as move the pieces around e.g. ‘I like to get the bottom edge sorted first and I then look for the other edge pieces. After that I like to fill in the center of the puzzle. What do you like to do?’
