writing motor skills practice book (1st an 2nd grade) – writing made easy

The writing motor skills practice book – writing made easy for school years 1 and 2 (formerly the Writing Explorer’s Box) focuses primarily on motor skills. The Schreibmotorik Institut has certified the writing motor skills practice book.

Learning to write is learning to move. A fluent script can only emerge if the hand moves smoothly and automatically. That's how one has more time to concentrate on other things, above all on the content of the written words. Scientific findings show that present concepts for learning to write neglect the automation of the movement. Many pupils write too slowly, cramped and with too much control.

CHILDREN EXPLORE WRITING

The learning to write method of the writing motor skills practice book (school years 1 and 2) puts motor skills first. Based on manifold exercises children should develop automated movement skills. The success in motorical learning doesn't result in copying of given letter shapes. Instead it results in exploring and experiencing individual approaches to solution. Therefore it is important to foster and keep children's motivation to write alive, to create them writing explorers.

PLAYFUL AND DEMANDING EXERCISES FOR THE CLASSROOM
