I Can Write 1a
Scribbling
Colouring
Channeling
Tracing
Drawing continuous
lines of wavy and zig
zag patterns.
Shading using different
colours. Guide the child
to colour horizontal,
vertical and oblique
lines or bars. The
drawing of circles should
be taught later. Ensure
that the child colour
within the boundaries
given.
Requires drawing a
line between two
boundaries.
Tracing requires joining
lines between adjacent
points.
Sitting position
Ensure that the size of the chair and table
is appropriate for the size of the child in
order that she can sit comfortably.
Book placement
The book to be used should be placed
at an appropriate angle to make writing
easy.
Holding of pencil
Show the child the correct way to hold the
pencil. The best way is to use the thumb,
forefinger and middle finger.
Tone and strength of the muscles
Both the tone and strength of the muscles
should be balanced when writing.
Hand-eye coordination
The position and movement of the hand
that is used for writing should be controlled
within the boundaries provided.
Coordinated hand movements
The movement and support provided
by the shoulders, arms, wrists and fingers
should be balanced.
Speed of writing
The speed of writing should be moderate—
not too fast nor too slow while learning
writing.
Stability of writing
The movement of the hand and fingers
should be stable—not shaky.
Copying
Copying involves writing
or drawing the given
letter or pattern.
Kinesthetic sensitivity
Input from the joints, muscles and
skin should be utilized optimally for
refinement of the writing skills.
