Happy National Handwriting Day! ✏️💛

To celebrate, let's talk about pre-writing shapes! Pre-writing shapes are the lines and shapes a child needs to be able to draw prior to learning to write. These shapes form our letters! For example, before children learn to write the letter "A", they need to be able to make diagonal lines. Pre-writing shapes include the directional movements a child needs to make to be successful with writing.

Tips to Teaching Pre-Writing Shapes:

1. You draw it first! This provides your child with the opportunity to watch and imitate your movements.
2. Offer opportunities to practice daily. Embed practice into their daily schedule.
3. Provide your child with a clear start and stop point. You can use green and red dots to show where to start and stop their stroke.
4. Practice on a vertical surface! Writing on a vertical surface builds upper body strength, which is another essential component of pre-writing skills. Tape paper up on a wall, fridge, or easel.
5. Make it fun! Add variety in where they can sit, provide different crayons, and encourage multi-sensory activities (drawing in a sand tray, using finger paint, etc).

Do you have concerns with your child's fine motor skills? Our occupational therapists can help! Give us a call at (317) 288-7606.
