  1. Wonderful activities! Most of them contribute to the development of their perception. I personally think this could help them out when they get older and continue their studies in middle and high schools. After all, reading and writing exercises are directly related to how you perceive the information. Many kids unfortunately have big problems with that, although they could always seek for professional writers (for instance at Essay Services Review). Although, I would personally recommend to take care of this in their early childhood.
