Hey Teachers! Here you have an educational resource that will help the youngest children in their writing learning process. These tracing worksheets with different lines and shapes will help your pupils to develop and improve their fine motor skills. Remember to teach your students to hold the pencil in a proper way; which is the following: the thumb and forefinger act like pincers, gripping the barrel of the pencil near its tip. The third finger acts like a support, bracing the forefinger as it moves. The fourth and fifth fingers act as a stabilizing base on the writing surface.
The graph paper style will help the children with dimensions and proportions. Moreover, it is very helpful to teach them how to be organized and work in a proper way.
