Best and easy ways to introduce writing to your kids at home (method by special educators)
Being a parent, we are much worried about our kids to introduce writing when they reach to a certain age from where we should introduce writing. Means we need to prepare our child for the preschool education.
So the main thing is that we have to introduce writing but what will be the right format to be followed by the parents to introduce writing to their kids?
Let me tell you one thing before you'll start introduce writing to your child, you have to work on his fine motor skills first, which is the first step before you introduce writing. Kids can have trouble in holding pencil or any other moving object with his fingertips or he can have difficulty in using tools like scissors, he may also have difficulty in learning to tie shoes.
After working on his fine motor skills, if he is good in holding, gripping and in hand and eye cordination gets better, then you need to introduce writing.
But to introduce writing you should introduce it from start and stop, it means writing should be introduce by standing lines, tracing should be start from standing lines.
If you want your child to learn writing earlier, step by step with bringing him up with good hand writing, so you have to follow small steps to make him learn. I am attaching the picture of this step below.
STANDING LINES:
• Draw thick broken or dotted lines on a white paper with marking it with red point given on start and stop, mark the middle dotted line with black.
• Ask your child to match that straight line, this will boost up your child's confidence to write, this pattern is designed by thick lines that will make your child to trace within the line. He will start to understand tracing. Red points, at start and stop are marked to tell the limitations to your child to trace within the given limitation.
• Make him practice for one week on standing lines only.
Make this tracing sheet at home and start spending time with your kids to make them trace which is an indirect method to prepare them for writing.After spending one week on standing lines, next indirect step towards writing is sleeping lines. Picture is given below.
SLEEPING LINES:
• Spend one week on sleeping lines.
Special educators usually follow these methods, now we are moving forward towards the third step which is the selection of the Alphabet which can easily formed by following standing and sleeping lines method, as shown in the picture below.
STANDING AND SLEEPING LINES
Make your child practice these letters for a month and make him learn sounds side by side with identification of letters, Random picking of letter to assess if child is recognizing the letter or not.
Fourth step towards indirect writing is slanting lines:
We will introduce slanting lines by marking to give a child a concept of start and stop, make your child practice it regularly by following the same pattern as shown in the picture. Make it practice for 7 to 8 days.
Standing, sleeping and slanting
Make it practice same for 7 to 8 days.
Curve lines
As we make children write after 6 months we don't even know that when we have introduced writing and when our child turned to the age of 3 and we are still complaining about their poor writing skills even we are not satisfied with it, complaining about lack of hand control and about the misunderstanding of writing boundaries. Follow the specific method in sequence to make your child write beautifully with making him understand about the writing boundaries following in each method which is point of start and stop. Following each pattern thoroughly will make your child write A to Z beautifully within 2 and a half years of age. Make it practice constantly for 7 to 8 days.
