Methods and recommendations to teach a child to write beautifully

At the beginning of their studies, children experience a huge physical and emotional stress when writing tasks in the prescription or notebook. The situation is complicated by the low endurance of children to static loads.
What will help the child learn to write beautifully?

1. Follow the correct position of the child at the table. The wrong position of the body, hands or notebooks not only negatively affects handwriting, but also leads to strong muscle overwork and the formation of improper posture
2. Choose a suitable writing tool:
   The optimal length of the handle or pencil is 15 cm
   Optimal diameter (thickness)-5-7 mm
   It is preferable to have a rubberized overlay on the case in the place where the child holds the pen to prevent fingers slipping
3. Pay attention to the correct capture of the fingers of the writing instrument - this will avoid overvoltage and muscle spasm and develop a beautiful handwriting

The formation of the correct capture is facilitated by pens with rubberized recesses for the thumb and forefinger. Such pens are for right -handed and left.

Special nozzles-trenders will help the child learn how to keep a writing tool correctly The good development of fine motor skills of the fingers is very important.

2. Insufficient automation of the skill of writing. In the first stages of learning for writing for a child, it is very important to realize the movement, see the line, its middle, feel the distance, determine the point of start of movement. And in this period, the pace of the letter cannot be forced, otherwise the child will not have time to fix the correct way to write a letter or its element, and subsequently the wrong graphic skill is much more complicated
3. The individual feature of the child. Most often, such children not only slowly write, but also move slowly, they say, dress. With such a feature, you need to reconcile rather than fight. A slow child who is in a hurry to write quickly is likely to sacrifice the quality of writing elements, which will lead to a gradual consolidation of the wrong drawing and poor handwriting
4. Fatigue or decrease in performance. For children of preschool and primary school age, it is very important to observe the daily routine, alternate classes at a desk and breaks with a warm-up or outdoor games, the continuous duration of work should not be more than 10-15 minutes

The optimal letter speed for six-year-olds is 4-6 signs per minute, for seven-year-olds-4-9 signs per minute.
