Lines are everywhere and yet so easy to overlook! What begins as a way of developing pre-writing skills (an important part of literacy development and communication) can lead to improving children’s ability to detect and form patterns, shapes, and letters.
Incorporating other mediums into the classroom such as wire, play-doh and wood encourages developing a knowledge of how various materials work, feel and move in different ways while using fine motor skills to manipulate them.
This interest also sets in motion a curiosity for noticing, finding and interpreting letters in daily life such as books, road signs, license plates and even letter recognition in everyday objects.
