Students master the essential pre-writing strokes in an artistic way by finishing each scene. Just print and place in sleeve protectors to use again and again. Pre-writing skills are the fundamental skills children need to develop before they are able to learn to write. They are a major contributor to a child’s ability to hold and use a pencil to draw, write, copy, and color. A core component of pre-writing skills are the pre-writing shapes. They are the pencil lines and strokes that most letter, numbers, and beginning drawings are comprised of. These skills must be mastered in order to successfully learn to print the alphabet. Pre-writing skills are an essential building block for good handwriting in the future. Typically, each pre-writing line or shape is developed sequentially, based on how old the child is. The strokes and their specific levels are as follows:  - Vertical Line- Age 2 imitates, age 3 copies/masters- Horizontal Line- Age 2 ½ imitates, 3 copies/masters- Circle Shape- Age 2 ½ imitates, 3 copies/masters- Cross Shape (+) – Age 3 ½ imitates, age 4 copies- Square Shape- Age 4- Right/ Left Diagonal Line- Age 4 ½- X Shape- Age 5- Triangle – Age 5 Directed Draw  22 Print-and-Go Directed Drawing templates provide step-by-step visual supports to guide artists through the drawing process from start to finish.
