Getting Ready to Write: Exploring all the crucial development stages before children even pick up a pencil

There are so many ways practitioners can get children ready for writing and Dr Alistair Bryce-Clegg explores these in this step by step practical guide.

Starting with the theory this book takes practitioners through the developmental stages in mark making and then provides some innovative ideas for intervention such as Dough Gym and Writing Like a Jedi!

Dr Alistair Bryce-Clegg is convinced that once practitioners understand the developmental stages of becoming a mark maker (from palm gripping to shoulder pivot) and are given the tried-and-tested activities to use, they will see a significant difference in progress.
