Training materials for developing functions of children's intelligence. By using point images, you sustainably promote important areas of intelligence in elementary school children and lay the foundation for creating essential learning prerequisites.

How does the training material work? The children must accurately trace predefined point images on a point grid. The difficulty level increases from worksheet to worksheet, starting with simple sequences of points, progressing through various shapes, and culminating in more complex patterns. Letters and entire words can also be found and drawn on the point grid.

A preliminary exercise form is the nail board: The drawn point image is replicated on the nail board, or conversely, a point image from the nail board is transferred to the worksheet.

The following core functions are promoted:

• Combination ability
• Spatial thinking

The following support functions are trained:

• Visual perception (optical capture of the image)
• Spatial orientation and laterality (recognizing spatial position)
• Concentration and memory skills (remembering the image)
• Attention (accurate reproduction of the image)
• Eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills (correct reproduction of the image)

Also suitable for use in school readiness tests.
