Content

This module develops fine motor skills necessary for early writing. We provide activities to strengthen hand muscles, improve coordination, and build dexterity, preparing children for tasks like holding a pencil and forming letters. Parents receive practical tips to support their child's skill development at home.

This module covers key pre-writing movements, focusing on top-to-bottom, left-to-right, and circular strokes. Through multisensory activities and visual aids, students will develop essential skills for writing directionality in a fun and engaging way.

In this module, we concentrated on lowercase letters that all begin with a simple, straight-line motion from the top down. These letters (l, t, i, h, n, m, r, b, p, j, u, k) share the same starting movement, making them an ideal group for building early writing skills. By mastering these, students establish a strong foundation that supports automaticity and consistency in their handwriting.

Requirements

Requirements:

    • No prior knowledge of fine motor skills is required.
    • Access to basic household items (e.g., playdough, tongs, crayons) for activities.
    • Recommended: a quiet space for practicing exercises.
    • Optionally, laminating sheets and cardstock for creating durable activity cards.
