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

There are two lines styles that you can pick from. This is to help meet the needs of the kids at different prewriting levels.<\/p>\n

Thse prewriting lines are great for kids in preschool (ages 3 to 4), prek (ages 4 to 5), and kindergarten (ages 5 to 6).<\/p>\n

St. Patrick’s Day Roll & Trace Prewriting Thin Dashed Line<\/h3>\n

The first style of line is a thin line. You can see that it is a small black dashed line they can follow to the pot of gold. This gives them a great start and stop with the leprechaun and the pot of gold. <\/p>\n

These prewriting lines are great for older kids in prek and extra practice for kindergarten.<\/p>\n
