Visual DiscriminationVisual Discrimination The ability to determine exact characteristics and distinctive features among similar objects. In reading, this skill helps children distinguish between similarly spelled words, such as was/saw or then/when. Children with poor visual discrimination will often confuse words.Visual Discrimination lets us see differences between objects that are similar. Good visual discrimination helps keep us from getting confused. For example, when we read, it’s visual discrimination that let’s us see the “was” and “saw” are different even though they have the same letters. Puzzle games that ask us to tell how two pictures are different are good ways to help develop visual discriminationDOUBLE TROUBLE How are the pictures different? You will see two pictures.
