PRE WRITING SKILLS

Pre-writing skills are foundational abilities that children develop before they begin formal writing instruction. These skills encompass fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and the cognitive skills necessary to hold and manipulate a writing utensil and produce written marks. They are the building blocks for learning to write letters, numbers, and other symbols.

Key components of pre-writing skills include:

Fine Motor Skills: Developing the muscles in the hands and fingers to control the pencil and form shapes.

Hand-Eye Coordination: Coordinating visual information with hand movements to guide the pencil.

Cognitive Skills: Understanding spatial relationships, directions, and the ability to copy and draw basic shapes.

Pencil Grasp: Developing a functional and comfortable grip on the pencil.

Pre-writing Shapes: Mastering basic strokes like vertical and horizontal lines, circles, crosses, and squares, which form the basis of letters and numbers.
