Well developed handwriting requires proper body posture, a stable torso, intact vision to guide hand movements, controlled use of the small muscles in the hand, hand strength, and overall endurance.
To promote optimal handwriting development, routine participation in simple hand movements and exercises known as HANDWRITING WARM UPS may be encouraged.
Handwriting Warm Up Cards provide illustrations that were designed to be easily copied by children. The movements and exercises can be used at the beginning (to warm up), throughout (stay focused), and at the end of a writing session (relax). These Warm Up cards can be utilized in a variety of home, school, and community based settings.
