Sorting tasks are work activities where the student using their hands to grip, manipulate and use the items. This type of task can be used to promote hand-eye coordination or increase grip strength and use. It’s simply basic fine motor movement with their hand.
Fine motor activities are essential to teach our younger and foundational level learners how to work independently, how to increase work endurance, and attention. There is a clear start and ending point. You can increase the length and difficulty by using smaller items, using realistic images or items and increasing the number of items. You can work on generalization by making a lot of different versions of these tasks.
