Pre-Writing

This category includes:

  • ‘Upper Limb’ movements that strengthen and stabilise muscles around the shoulders, elbows and wrists, and
  • ‘Fine Motor Skills’ movements that strengthen the hand, thumb and fingers, and develop fundamental skills needed to hold a pencil, draw, write and copy.

Doing these movements just before handwriting (or other fine motor activities) improves children’s writing and fine motor performance.
