Pre-Writing Skills

Before I introduced writing I began by introducing shapes. Drawing shapes to help prepare children for writing. For example, a triangle is similar to an A, a circle can be a C or O and so on. Before you work on writing the letters of the alphabet I would encourage you to work on shapes. There are tons of workbooks out there that you can purchase. If you've been to the book isle at Toys R Us then you know exactly what I am talking about. *You can also find them at any learning or book store.

These books are inexpensive and are a great start. You can also find free worksheets online.
