Pre Writing And Writing Skills

Pre-writing skills

What are pre-writing/writing readiness skills?

Prewriting skills refer to the basic skills children need to learn before they can write. These skills improve the child's ability to handle a pencil, draw, write, copy, and apply color to drawings. One of the most important aspects of prewriting skills is the ability to use of pre-writing shapes. Pre-writing shapes make up the pencil strokes that are used to form letters, numbers, and early drawings. A child will master the pre-writing shapes in sequential order as they grow. Some of the pencil strokes include |,-, /, x, \,+,o, Δ, square.
