|---|---|---|
| Produce meaningful print Photos of the child doing everyday activities Drawings by you or the child of daily activities e.g. playtimes plants grown, food eaten. Pictures cut out of a catalogue of favoured toys or toys the child owns Pencil grips | Stick the photo or the cut out picture onto a clean page. Draw a border round the picture and fill with zigzag marks as 'decoration'. The child may need to follow the dots to do this. Colour over the zigzags to make a picture frame for the 'book' Label the photo or picture e.g. 'Child's name jumping.' 'Child's name toy car'. You write the 'jumping' or 'toy car' and leave a space for the child to write his name. You may need to provide dots for the child to overwrite his/her name. Use a painting or drawing the child has done. Write most the child's name for them.........can the child finish the name off? The child may respond to being able to choose a 'special pen' to write his/her name Make Christmas cards or birthday cards or thank you cards. As before, do most of the writing inside yourself leaving the child to finish off some/all of his/her name. Reward all attempts. | Short work sessions Using a really short pen can help a child to hold the pen correctly or use a pen grip. This work can be collected into a 'book' to take home or read to others. |
| Computer | Write the child's name on the computer in big letters (use lower case). Can the child copy the name on the computer? Print out the sheet. Can the child over write the printed name an coy underneath the printed name? | |
| Child's drawings or paintings etc Letters of the child's name written large and cut out individually. | Can the child stick the letters of his/her name in the right order under one of their pictures? Can the child copy in handwriting under the stuck on letters of their name? Can this work be shown to an adult or stuck on the wall? |
