Handwriting Practice Worksheets For Special Children
Handwriting Practice Worksheets For Special Children
Handwriting is a life-lasting skill that starts at a preschool age and continues the whole life. It’s tough for a kid to start writing letters straight away. It takes time and much more hard work of a teacher or parent as well. It’s all about developing hand and eye coordination and muscle memory of a kid at preschool age.
A kid can’t start with writing with a pencil right from the start. They begin with some prewriting techniques and then progress onwards to holding a pencil and start proper pencil writing. We provide you worksheets with all the prewriting and writing techniques for a kid just with oneclic
The basic thing a kid must develop before start writing is muscle memory and to copy and draw things. This helps them to evolve their motor functions by interpreting what they see, on a page. Many different ways can provide them with this basic sense, and they enjoy doing this as well. Little hands can get a start by drawing different random lines on a sand tray with their finger’s help. You need to monitor your kid while drawing all these random lines. This is just for developing their motor control. As this continues for several weeks, then bring some cards with different shapes on them and put them in front of the kid. Ask him to draw the same patterns on the sand and monitor his/her progress. It takes time, but after continuous trying for weeks, the kid learns how to copy things and draw it as it is.
Just like this, you can use other things like a table surface, the fur of carpet, spongy pages, etc. instead of a sand tray. It all depends on the interest of the child that what he enjoys the most.
As the kid masters in copying and pasting things on the sand tray, the next job is to make him/her handle the pencil. This is not an overnight process and takes time for the kid to get accustomed to it. In the beginning, try to hold his/her hand to initiate pencil handling and help him/her draw different lines.
