1.1 Identify any two literacy skills that learners
can acquire from this activity. (4)
1. Listening Skills: Learners practice listening
skills as they carefully follow the teacher’s
instructions for creating the cards. This skill is
fundamental in literacy as it helps students
understand and interpret information, which is
essential for reading comprehension.
2. Fine Motor Skills: By handling small cut-out
shapes and crayons, learners develop fine motor
skills, which are important for writing.
Manipulating these materials aids in hand-eye
