Holding crayon:
Level 1 thumb position down, using entire arm and shoulder to scribble. Level 2 thumb position up, using entire arm and shoulder to scribble. Level 3 thumb position up, using from elbow of arm and down to fingers to scribble then progressing to drawing purposeful lines. Level 4 correctly holding crayon between fingers (like writing) using from elbow of arm and down to fingers to draw lines and circles. Level 5 correctly holding crayon between fingers (like writing) using from wrist to fingers to draw lines and circles.
Pre-letter writing:
Level 1 Go from point A to point B (horizontal lines). Level 2 Go from point A to point B (vertical lines). Level 3 Go from point A to point B (intersecting lines = + shape). Level 4 Go from point A to point B (diagonal lines = triangle shape).
Pre-word writing:
Level 1 using 4 boxes in horizontal line, have child put a sticker in each box. This gets child used to going from left to right and spacing.
Level 2 using 4 boxes in horizontal line, have child draw a shape like a circle or a + in each box. This gets the child used to going from left to right, spacing and lifting pencil to end one letter to start another letter in the word. Level 3 using 8 boxes in 2 horizontal lines of 4 boxes, have child draw a shape like a circle or a + in each box of the first line of boxes going from left to right. Next have the child do the next row of boxes the same moving left to right. This helps the mind and hand connection of sequencing to start writing beginning words that are usually 3 4 letters. You are now using two rows, because when writing the child needs to understand that the words for a sentence will continue to the next line.
REMEMBER these are toddlers, this should be fun. Dont push, Dont rush, Just play !
