Write

Write. Writing, at this stage, in general, is about focusing on motor skills. It takes coordination to make curves in the formation of the letter "S" and "C". Perfecting hand and eye coordination and experimenting with lines, dots, swirls are actually ways to help a child begin the journey of penmanship.

Drawrite takes a child through a story journey where lines they see of certain objects become the same lines used in making a letter. The letter "j" for instance is a hook for fishing. A child begins by repeating a hook shape on a picture and then is guided into writing the letter "j". They draw. They play. They write.

Another scribble app that allows a child to experiment with lines is Gil Weiss' Doodle Fun.  A monster is hungry and the child can draw something in t's mouth for it to eat.

Should your child exhibit ability to control his or her lines, then writing letters is the next logical step. It is recommended that you start with letters in your child's name and family. Have the child say the letter and practice writing it. Little Writer teaches a child how to write his or her letters by helpful tracing steps. It is extremely customizable, with the ability to select letters you want to display and even words, you can add. If your child knows must of the names of the letters, you may want to begin letter phonics, helping a child learn the sound of the letters.
