Tips and Strategies

Practice letter formation using multi-sensory approaches, such as tracing letters in sand or shaving cream, to engage multiple senses and reinforce muscle memory.

#MULTISENSORY HANDWRITING

Break down tasks into smaller steps to make them more manageable for your child. Focus on one skill at a time, whether it is letter formation, legibility, writing on the line, or sentence generation.

#BREAK DOWN

Provide a comfortable and supportive writing environment with a proper-sized desk, chair, and good lighting to promote correct posture and reduce strain during writing tasks.

#SEATING

Write on a vertical service, like a mirror, glass door, or wall, to help develop shoulder strength.

#PRACTICE OPPORTUNITIES

Use lined paper or provide visual cues like highlighted lines or raised-line paper to assist your child with letter alignment and spacing.

#PAPER

Make writing fun by incorporating it into play activities, such as writing letters to a favourite character or creating a grocery list for a pretend store.
