Academic skills

Jamil is ahead in almost all areas . His cognitive ability is well above 3 years old. On the assessment charts he has very few missing skills. (His ball play skills are a bit behind, he isn't ahead with potty training cues, although none of those were even on the chart until 24 months so we aren't behind either.

He knows all 26 letters, and is starting to sing his abc's. He will either sing along with me, or can do every other letter if I stop and wait. He can pair QRSTUVWXYZ by himself. If he is looking at the alphabet then he can sing the whole thing. He can also take a pile of letters and put them in alphabetical order. He can spell his name (can't write it) but can pick his name out from the alphabet. He knows both upper and lower case letters.

He knows his numbers up to 10, and can count 10 items if they are in a straight line. He can also arrange his numbers in order 1-10.

He knows all his colors, and will spontaneously point out colors, and enjoys playing I Spy and finding something that is a certain color.

He LOVES puzzles and can do any single insert puzzle with ease, he is almost moving on to 24 piece puzzles, but needs some help because he will sit on top of it while doing it causing it to fall apart.

He knows most the body parts, and can point them out in a picture or on an animal.

He loves to sing a few different songs, and knows the hand gestures/movements to any song I know the words to, it only takes a few times showing him before he can memorize a new song.

He enjoys electronic spelling and puzzle games, and can figure out any novel puzzle.

He is best with start finish activities, but also enjoys playing with cars, animals, action figures. He will have the animals eat, or growl at the people, and he will have the people give him high five, have them play his favorite crashing game (crashing/landing on a pillow) Or put them to sleep.

He also knows most shapes. Octagon, Hexagon, Square, Circle, Star, Diamond, Cresent, Semi Circle, Rectangle, Oval, Star, Heart.

He can also find a specific color and shape or number, like if you asked for a red A vs a Blue A, or a Yellow star etc...
