A 2012 study led by a psychologist at Indiana University found that 3-5 year olds kids stimulated key parts of their brain needed for reading when they were first learning to write.
Why kids need to have good handwriting?
Handwriting is an essential skill for both children and adults. Handwriting activates the brain more than keyboarding because it involves more complex motor and cognitive skills. Handwriting contributes to reading fluency because it activates visual perception of letters.
Kids need to start writing early because writing helps to cultivate emotional growth, develop critical thinking skills and improve school performance.
Writing by hand allows children to produce more words more quickly, and express more ideas than typing. A related study showed that while working on a writing project, fifth-graders with good-quality handwriting activated more regions of their brain (including areas associated with cognition, language, and working memory) than their peers with poor handwriting.
People with learning difficulties seem to benefit from knowing how to write by hand - particularly in cursive. Also, cursive can help with writing speed, legibility, and spelling words correctly (possibly because letters are connected on paper, and therefore in one's memory).
A handwritten note is more unique, personal, and thoughtful than a text message or an email. We all know how special it is when children hand-write letters to Santa and cards to loved ones, and when we receive a handwritten thank-you note in the mail. And there's nothing more original than one's own handwritten signature.
Keeping in mind all the above great reasons, it gives me immense pleasure to introduce "Lots Of Letter Tracings And Tests: Traditional and Cursive handwriting workbook for Preschoolers 3-5 & Kindergarten" workbook.
This workbook consists of 100s of pages of letters starting from A to Z in traditional and cursive style to help your kid learn to write and boost their reading, creativity and analytical skills. Each letter consists of line arrows, dotted letters with arrows and dotted letters without arrows to help your kid learn to write in a correct way and progress gradually. These all comes with 3 line letters to help understand the upper and lower limits of each letter and the center for equal spacing. First page of each letter comes without lines to let kids sketch them without any limitations to build their writing confidence and then later you will find perfect 3 lines pages spacing correct lenght and breath of each letter.
Also you will find two related words with their images for tracing and drawing for each letter such as 'A' for Alligator and 'a' for ant. This will help understand letters well along with phonix to build auditory, visual and critical thinking abilities.
Nothing validates without tests to connect and differentiate between upper and lowercases, traditional and cursive writings, along with some fun.
This method of practice and testing is highly recommended by Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers.
In summary, this workbook consists of Traditional and Cursive A to Z:
- Without lines
