About this eBook

I was inspired to create this PreHandwriting Book first from my experiences as a kindergarten teacher. My love for the students and the birth of my son, Robert, has inspired me to offer the skills that I have learned from teaching and observing the growth of Robert. Robert has delayed speech; and after ongoing tests, all results have returned normal. Robert is an intelligent boy. He enjoys memorizing and recognizes numbers and letters at the age of two. He always has a book at hand to look at and study. Thanks to speech therapy he is making great progress. Through my observations of Robert's desire to read and write at such a young age, it has inspired me to create a book of handwriting movements for children from the ages two and up. The skilled hand movements can also be utilized for children with developmental disabilities. The book includes skilled hand movements, recognizing numbers, and tracing letters and numbers among other fun activities. Parents are encouraged to partake in this handwriting book with their children. This book can be translated in several languages, including French and Spanish.
