Pre-Handwriting – This practice gives children the opportunity to learn how to control a pencil and then learn specific handwriting strokes, which enables them to print a variety of alphabet letters.

First, children are taught how to make “vertical straight lines” and then “horizontal straight lines.”  When children are able to do these lines they are then able to print “l, i, L, t, T, F, E, H and I.”  Children immediately feel successful and are learning correct handwriting skills.

Learn to Print –  This program teaches young children handwriting strokes and how to print. The letters here are presented developmentally, rather than alphabetically.  This presents handwriting in a developmental sequence and provides children with the opportunity to be able to visually identify the letters, as well as how to learn to print.  

Scissor Skills – The activities in this program have been purposely designed to teach children how to cut simple shapes and designs to more complex cutting skills.  Scissoring is a developmental skill that emerges as early as age 2 through exposure and repetitive use of the tool.  Children need strength and dexterity in their fingers and hands before manipulating a cutting tool. Handedness is established during the preschool years.
