What Skills Can Your Little Ones Learn And Develop?
These printable letter formation cards are designed to help your children practice and develop their prewriting skills, such as:
- Hand-eye coordination – to be able to understand what they are seeing and get their hands to go where they want them to go
- Hand and finger strength – the ability to be able to apply enough pressure to make marks on the page and hold the pencil firmly
- Hand dominance – developing and strengthening the skill of one of their hands
- Letter formation – understanding what the letters look like and how to form them
- Letter recognition – knowing what the different letters look like
- Pencil control – holding the q-tip correctly mimics holding a pencil and can help them to develop a fluid range of movement
RELATED Playdough can also be a great way to improve hand strength – you can check out an easy no cook recipe here!
