Why is Pre Writing Important?

Prewriting skills are the fundamental fine motor skills children need before they begin to write. Prioritizing these necessary skills is the developmentally appropriate way to teach writing instruction for toddlers and preschoolers.

Without building these pre-writing skills, children might get easily frustrated trying to hold a writing instrument, may not be able to grip a pencil for long, would most likely feel unsteady when trying to write and might subsequently have illegible writing.

Focusing on these prewriting skills now will prepare your young learners for success as elementary students and beyond.
