Pre-Writing Practice
Pre-writing skills are essential for students to be able to develop the ability to hold and move a pencil fluently and effectively. A major component of pre-writing skills are the pre-writing of shapes. These are pencil strokes that most letters and numbers are comprised of. These strokes include l, -, O, +, square, /, X and a triangle. Below the children are writing l; they followed the line from the top to the bottom.
