\nIdentif ying shapes and colors as well as recognizing patterns are important steps toward kindergarten readiness. A strong understanding of shapes can help preschoolers better recognize letters and numbers and how they look. Words and letters are made up of patterns &ndash\; both in the shapes that make them up\, and in the sounds they form\, such as rhyming patterns. Exposin g children to and teaching them about colors develops their visual percept ion\, in other words the ability of the brain to correctly interpret what the eyes see. \; \;
