This resource offers strategies and this relates to the concept of holding and controlling the pencil which is supported by  Schwellnus,  Carnahan,  Kushki, Polatajko, Missiuna & Chau (2013), discussed about relation of pencil holding (skilful fine motor coordination and precision) to handwriting. As the production of functional handwriting is reliant on a few abilities which includes fine motor skills, precision and force regulation. With a few skills involved to gain successful handwriting acquisition, learning to write can be challenging for young learners. ]]> 2019-08-11 04:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/yngg0030/lhe8prrwxa6k/wish/373993108 Handwriting Skills yngg0030 https://padlet.com/yngg0030/lhe8prrwxa6k/wish/373993118 Spacing / Letter Placement
