The Q-Tip Prewriting Printables are a great addition to the prewriting printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n

So what is pre-writing?<\/h2>\n

I remember the first time I heard the word pre-writing in school. My first thought was writing a paper or starting a paper.<\/p>\n

But for young kids, pre-writing is the skill to build to work up to writing letters and other types of writing. It also teaches the direction that we read.<\/p>\n

You can start a lot of those skills with fine motor activities with playdough and other small motor movements. But a lot of those skills are working up to prewriting with lines. Then working on more fine motor skills that help to do better with writing and reading later in life.<\/p>\n

You start out with thick prewriting lines and work to thinner prewriting lines. Then to prewriting patterns that work into writing letters.<\/p>\n

I love using q-tips for painting and various other activities. So taking something we love to use already and making it a prewriting activity very fun! <\/p>\n

This was an easy addition to the prewriting that we do. There at 8 pages and similar to the other prewriting worksheets<\/a> and a page with four different lines with two pages of mixed cotton swab lines.<\/p>\n
