Mark Making Left and Right handed children.

# data[].attributes.body
Mark making opportunities allow the child to make a decision on their hand preference for writing.

Large mark making is useful for left handed children as they tend to feel more in control and not in the way.
In the beginning children tend to se both hands equally when developing their motor skills. When the child has figured out their dominant hand they then go through several stages of handgrips before beginning to write starting off with palm grip then progressing to tripod which allow children to form letters as they have more controll.

Children only start to give meaning to the marks they make at 2-3 years old. At 3-4 children should start forming recognisable letters. At 4 plus children start to become emergent writers.
