Description
How to Draw Lines and Shapes digital download was created by school-based Occupational Therapist, Thia Triggs. She has found that after many years of teaching children early drawing, pre-writing and handwriting, that there is a particular foolproof order of instruction.
First: Children need to be able to imitate fine motor actions.
Second: They need to be able to follow dot cues to form early lines and shapes.
Third: They learn to look ahead to where they want their pencil to go without the dots to make consistent, recognizable shapes. They first learn to do this when they can look at the shape they want to draw as a model.
Fourth: They need to learn the shape so well that they can draw them without needing to see an example.
This process starts with early lines in preschool and continues until children typically reach mastery in first or second grade. This resource is designed to help your clients no matter where they are in the process.
