Learn to Draw
Help children learn how to draw. Draw Write Now drawing lessons were created by a school teacher who integrated drawing instruction into her curriculum. The lessons begin with step-by-step drawing instruction and continue with each child completing the drawing using their own creativity. Sample lessons.
Drawing motivates children to want to write and strengthens the pencil skills used in writing. After drawing together, the children learn to write as they are shown how to form the letters and sentences. At the same time, the students who already know how to write are motivated to carefully practice handwriting. (The child's drawing can also be used as a prompt to strengthen other language art skills: creative writing, grammar, and speaking.) We like StartWriteHandwriting Software for creating custom writing practice sheets.
