Pre-Writing Activities for Beginners
Before attacking the difficult skill of writing, young children
need plenty of practice to fully develop their fine motor
skills.
This beginning pack provides some of the activities to start
them on developing these skills.
The pack contains:
[a] Four activities for developing their fluency patterns. Each
page contains multiple patterns to increase practice
opportunities..
* Vertical downstrokes* Up/down sloping strokes* Down/up curves*
Up/down curves
[b] One activity to show how lines become shapes.
[c] Five activities to help increase control. These consist of a
dotted drawing of a shape and its dotted name.
[d] Each activity page has illustrations of correct pencil grip
for both left and right hands.
Suggested use of activity sheets:
1. Draw the childrens attention to the correct pencil grip
diagrams at the top of each activity page.
Have children:
1. Trace the dotted outline with a finger. Arrows indicate
direction.
2. Trace over the dotted line with a pencil, a marker or a
crayon trying to keep on the dots.
3. Color the pictures carefully. This is not busy work but
another method of fine tuning motor skills.
In the shape and word exercises the tracing of the word not only
has a fine motor objective but also helps the children to learn
word recognition.
