preparing to write

Increasingly, children are starting nursery or school without the physical skills necessary to begin learning how to write.

This documentary style video looks at why handwriting is still essential - even in this era of computers, video games, and mobile phones.

Teachers tell us how young children can be encouraged and helped to develop the hand eye co-ordination, strength and control needed before they can begin to learn letter shapes.

Designed for nursery school staff and parents alike, the video talks about gross motor and fine motor activities, and makes suggestions about how best to help children prepare to learn to write.

There is a comprehensive pack of support material to accompany the video.
