What Skills Can Your Little Ones Learn And Develop?
This summer number tracing printable is 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
- One to one correspondence – this important skill (trickier than you may think) is the ability to only touch and count an object of a set once.
- Number formation – understanding what the numbers look like and how to form them
- Number sense – the ability to visualize numbers and understand relationships between numbers
- Pencil control – holding the pencil correctly to allow for a fluid range of movement
Many of these are all vital fine motor skills that will enable them to become great writers in the future!

Gently encourage them if they find it a little tricky at first – learning all these new skills takes time!
