“Why should I use this program?”
A child with poor pencil control is likely to present with the messy writing, awkward pencil grip, slow writing speed and a reluctance to write.
There are several reasons that a child presents with untidy and sometimes illegible handwriting. One may be that the child quite simply has not developed adequate pencil control for writing. It is essential to develop good pencil control at an early age so as to avoid falling into bad habits later on, especially as the demands on writing increase. The
Fine Motor Kits work on improving and strengthen the small muscle on the hand thereby improving pencil control.
Please note, to gain maximum benefit these handwriting programs, please use it in conjunction with
The Magic Caterpillar Handwriting Program and
The Magic Beak Program.
“How and what does this program work on?”
Children love to play with the objects supplied in the
Fine Motor Kits. Each task may be viewed as a challenge. The child enjoys beating their previous times with which they perform a certain task, or they may take great pleasure in beating an adult’s performance!
The
Fine Motor Kits are a really useful tool to use in between other more “tedious” writing tasks. The child may view
The Fine Motor Kits as a reward activity and as such, it is highly motivating and enjoyable for the child who finds other handwriting tasks “hard work”.
The Fine Motor Kits consist of several games that work on improving a child’s fine motor skills and in-hand manipulation skills.
In-hand manipulation skills are: being able to manipulate small object in your hand.
Poor or weaker skills can affect schoolwork in the following areas
- Poor pencil control
- Poor cutting skills
- Slow speed due to poor control
- Slow to finish tasks
- Last finished
- Uncompleted tasks
The Fine Motor Kits include instruction cards and all the equipment you need to play the games. The instructions are easy to understand and anybody can use the games with ease.
“What are the results that I can expect to see?”
Improved fine motor skills and strength will in turn improve pencil control and therefore handwriting.
In order to maxims the benefit of
The Fine Motor Kits use in the conjunction with
The Magic Beak Program and
The Magic Caterpillar Program.
