Froggy Legs Pencil Grip in Writing

Early writing activities encourage children to scribble and make marks that have meaning to them as a first experience with developing writing skills. As children learn sounds, they enjoy writing letters corresponding to the sounds they hear in words. Educators help children hear more sounds in words and write them down while also teaching correct pencil grip and letter formation starting with lower case then moving to upper case letters to establish good habits and avoid mixing cases.

Early writing activities

Childrens first experiences of developing writing. Children will often do their writing which carries meaning for them. Something that appears like scribble is early writing.

We encourage the children to write in their own way.

Emergent writing
As the children learn sounds they enjoy writing them as well as saying them. Our children are encouraged to hear more sounds in words and write them down.

Letters developing by sound

We encourage correct pencil grip

Tripod grip Froggy legs movement

As the children hear more sounds in words their writing becomes more recognisable

Summing up
Reading comes before writing Children hear initial, then final and lastly medial letters in words. We encourage everyone to have a go. Teach lower case letters first. Then upper case letters Correct bad habits.

We want to avoid mixing upper case and lower case letters.
