Activities to Enhance Pre-Writing Skills in Children

The act of writing begins being imitated by children
younger than 2 years, through sketches and symbolic
markers reflecting their ideas and thoughts (Rowe &
Neitzel 2010; Dennis & Votteler 2013). This is the
beginning of a series of phases through which children
learn how to write (see' Emergent Writing Stages').
Emerging written skills are powerful predictors of
children's abilities in reading and writing (National
Center for Family & Literacy 2008; Puranik & Lonigan
2012).
Activity 1: pre-writing activity:
I made cardboard Hole in the line and put the straws into the hole. Enhance fine
motor skill
Pushing Straw in a carton is an easy activity which can keep toddler occupied for a while.
One can configure this in no time and this is a great pleasure for your children. Straw is a
great activity for fine engine capacity in a cardboard box. Use extra caution and alertness
during this event if your little one is still mouthing. Box with pencil/pen punch holes in the
cardboard. Multiple holes can be made. Make sure that the hole just slips into the straw.
The children learn:
Hand-eye coordination

Color matching
Concentration
Fine motor skills.
Activity 2: Threading activity for pre-writing.
Activity 2: Take a cardboard and paste small pieces of straws. Pass the thread
through a particular color one at a time. Beads can be associated not only with
the development of important fine motor skills but also to expose young children
to a variety of mathematical concepts, such as colors, patterns, shapes, and
counting.
Children as young as 2 years old may add string beads to pipe purifiers.
Threading beads When adding different items, including string, cut-up straws,
and various size pearls, your skill level improves. You can mix it up.
The Threading Act helps:
 raising the attention range
 boost hand manipulation (who is a good practice for maintaining a string)
 improves team spirit if performed in a group
 strengthens bilateral coordination (using both sides of the organ at the
same time).
Activity 3: Salt writing
Using a DIY salt tray is a great way to enhance the abilities of preschoolers.
Simply fill a tray with salt and provide your child with an instrument to mark the
salt. A salt tray incorporates the senses and is a good way for kids to learn how
to write their names, numbers, and letters. This DIY salt tray can be made for
