DID YOU KNOW PENCIL CONTROL DOESN’T JUST COME FROM THE HANDS?

Yes it’s important what grip your child is using. But the control of the pencil needs to also come from looking at what you are doing. Learning to draw and write is aboutcopying what you see in everyday life. To do this you need to pay attention to thosesmall changes in the shapes, letters and numbers you are trying to copy.

How big. How small. Up. Down. Left. Right. Corner. Curve. Straight. Wiggly. Fast. Slow

Kids with limited pencil control often rush through their work and make careless mistakes.

Your eyes tell the pencil which way to go, and your hand guides to precise control needed.

The activities in this workbook are specifically designed for children with poor attention todetail with their pencil control. Numbers are used to help kids with planning difficulties. The path for drawing on stands out making it easier to understand what to do.

Confidence in understanding what to do, helps the kids learn how to control their pencil.
