Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e as well as.

The context suggests that the activities in the book encourage children not only to read but also to write letters and numbers.

The phrase "as well as" is used to indicate this additional aspect or action.

So, the sentence would read: "Tracing and copying activities encourage children to read and write letters and numbers as well as to count."
