A sheet which identifies the six basic (pre-writing) patterns that form the basis of all alphabet letters.
Throughout the early years, children are encouraged to participate in a range of fine motor activities that develop:
- their manipulative skills
- a dominant hand
- the ability to use both hands together
In conjunction with the above motor activities, introducing pre-writing patterns aids the smooth transition to writing alphabet letters.
Pre-Writing Patterns presents a simple, systematic and fun approach for teaching the foundation skills that are necessary for fluent handwriting. It outlines six basic movements that are essential for children to learn the pre-writing patterns used to make pictures and then combined to make letters and numbers.
Six basic patterns form the basis of all alphabet letters.
– sideways, sideways, left to right
– tall lines and short lines
– circles, drawn forwards and backwards
– zig zags
– up and overs
– down and unders/down, back and unders
