THE IMPORTANCE OF HANDWRITING
These days, where children are comfortable typing on a phone or tablet from a young age, it’s more important than ever for them to develop the skill of handwriting. Learning to write opens up a whole world to your little one, and is essential for their education. Plus a handwritten message brings a much more personal touch than something typed out on a computer!
As your child learns to write, they will also be developing their reading and spelling skills - making the early years of school much more manageable. Kids will be able to use their newly acquired skill to jot down any thoughts, ideas or plans that they have. The freedom to be able to put pen to paper and write whatever they want is unmatched.
LEARNING TO WRITE BY HAND
Learning handwriting is actually quite a lengthy and difficult process. There are so many different skills involved. For example, your little one’s memory will be tested as they try to remember all of the different strokes and shapes they need to put together to spell out a word. Simply holding a pen comfortably is something that can take time to get used to.
Encouragement is vital in the initial stages. Any opportunity for your little one to practise their handwriting will help them to build their confidence. As they move from scribbles to form letters and words, cheer them on and let them make mistakes!
