Wooden pieces from Handwriting Without Tears ® (HWT) program provide children with visual and tactile input making it easy for them to understand concepts such as “Big Lines” vs “Little Lines”, “Big Curves” vs “Little Curves”, “Top” vs “Bottom”
Use of Play-Dough to make Big Lines and Little Lines requires ideation (having an idea) and visual-motor integration skills (rolling of the playdough is a motoric act that requires us to use our visual system to match what we are seeing.
Kinesthetic feedback from playdough, chalk, or a wet sponge makes the learning of foundational concepts fun and easier to recall!
Finally, the child is ready to write the letter independently and successfully!
