  2. SQUID: Tactile Activities Magazine Purpose: SQUID: Tactile Activities Magazine is intended to be deceptively fun—that is, while your child or student enjoys solving a variety of activities in each SQUID issue, he will actually (secretively—Shhh!) build and acquire skills that will enable him to become a more proficient tactile reader. Intended for children ages 5 and older, these puzzles, games, and brainteasers will foster the following:

  3. SQUID: Tactile Activities Magazine • texture discrimination • systematic searching skills • shape identification • tracking various line paths • pattern building and recognition • spatial concepts • and an understanding of symbols

  4. SQUID: Tactile Activities Magazine • Another important goal of SQUID is to familiarize young tactile readers with a variety of tactile modes including: • thermoformed graphics • embossed paper • thermography

  5. SQUID: Tactile Activities Magazine Each issue of SQUID will provide 25 activities such as: -- tactile mazes -- pattern-completing puzzles -- counting/math tasks -- coloring pages -- connect-the-dots -- word searches -- word play -- brainteasers, -- break the code -- interactive games
