A learning kit is provided which is particularly useful in the teaching of children suffering from learning disabilities of the type which are evidenced by the fact that the child displays very poor fine motor skills and although of an age at which the ability to do so should exist is unable to read and can not identify the letters of the alphabet. The subject kit consists of a multiplicity of individual cards arranged so as to comprise a set thereof. Each of the cards in a set has provided on at least one face thereof the outline of one of the letters of the alphabet. The outline of the letter is formed by positioning a plurality of balls which are suitably spaced relative to each other in a preselected pattern. The center of each of the balls is colored a different color so that no two balls on the same card are of the same color. A reading script is provided which is designed to be employed with each card in the set. Namely, with a given card before him, the child is told a story about that card. During the story, the child is instructed to interconnect the balls in a prescribed fashion. More particularly, starting with a particular ball which is identified by its color, lines are drawn by the child to the other balls in accord with a preselected sequence. This procedure is followed in turn for each of the cards in the set. Thus, by utilizing the ability of the child to recognize colors, he is taught to form the letters of the alphabet and to recognize their shapes so as to be able to distinguish therebetween.

A teaching aid is provided which is particularly useful in the teaching of children suffering from learning disabilities of the type which are evidenced by the fact that the child can not read because of left to right sequencing problems and has an aversion to graphical representation. The subject teaching aid includes a multiplicity of block-like members which when arranged in end-toend relation are operable to form a segmented inclined plane. Each of the block-like members is of substantially the same width and length but is of differing height. More particularly, the top wall of each of the block-like members is sloped so that the height of the block-like member measured at the corner formed by the intersection of one edge of the top wall and one of the end walls of the block-like member is less than the height of the same block-like member measured at the corner formed by the intersection of the other edge of the top wall and the other end wall thereof. The angle of inclination of the top wall is the same for all of the multiplicity of block-like members so that a surface having a continuous slope is produced when the multiplicity of block-like members are arranged with their end walls in abutting relation in order of increased height. The teaching aid also includes a reading script which is designed to be utilized with the multiplicity of block-like members. More particularly, with the multiplicity of block-like members in disarray before the child, the latter is told a story in which he is directed to arrange the multiplicity of block-like members in a predetermined manner. Thus, by utilizing these multiplicity of block-like members, the child is taught to arrange them in ascending or descending order, and therethrough the concept of left to right sequencing.
