Developing Fine Motor SkillsWritten by, Yael Khan Pinto, Early Childhood and Special Education

Writing is an important skill, and one?that can be?encouraged?from an early age. As a teacher of young children,?there are several ways?that?I work to foster a love of writing in my classroom. Here are a?few?suggestions for setting up a fun, inviting and engaging ?office? area for your young child?at home.

  • Have materials such as single hole punches, scissors, staplers and tape available. In addition to being lots of fun, these items help children develop dexterity while strengthening their hand muscles.
  • Short markers (such as crayola pip-squeaks) short colored pencils and triangular crayons help foster proper tripod grip.
  • Alphabet and number cards are a great reference for children who are ready to begin writing letters and numbers independently.
  • Offer children a variety of types and sizes and paper allows them to practice drawing and writing in different scales.

Having these materials available for your children will help?to set?the stage for a lifetime of writing! If you are looking for extra support at home, contact us, to set up a meeting with one of our elementary educators who can help you and your family support early learners in your family.
