Let's Do it Write! Writing Readiness

Writing Readiness is the first in a series of workbooks geared to develop children's handwriting skills.

In this workbook, children work along with a friendly companion, Benjy Bear.  Together, they progress through a variety of prewriting activities and exercises that focus on the development of eye-hand coordination and motor, sensory, and cognitive skills.  

 

Easy-to-follow instructions are provided for the parent, teacher or therapist.

 

The fun-filled activities help to improve:

• Sitting posture
• Sensory awareness
• Cutting skills
• Pencil grasp
• Spatial orientation
• Shape formation
• Problem-solving skills

The author, Gail Kushnir, is a certified special education teacher, pediatric occupational therapist and international lecturer. She has expertise in the evaluation and treatment of handwriting problems in pre-school and elementary school children and in the development of emotional intelligence in young children.
