The transition from pencils to pens, such as a pen is often very specific, and hence the need for children in the early stages of writing a real help. And both the correct grip handles, for example with suitable pressure on the pen, and even sitting correctly. So take the basic rules for good writing and keep children maximum support and assistance.
3 steps to correct typing
First Špetkový correct grip for writing
While adults may feel that properly hold a pen is the last thing, but sometimes the opposite is true. Even a number of adults still do not hold pens properly. According to an expert on the right and healthy Dr. writing. Jane Johns is correct so-called špetkový grip. "It is a condition where the thumb holds pens, supports middle and forefinger is placed slightly above," explains Johnová.
The training is ideal child consciously lead since kindergarten, respectively, from the moment a baby takes first writing and drawing supplies in hand and begins with the first drawing, which is usually between the second and fourth year. A child at this age can also help a training adapter that for him writing and drawing properly stimulated.
Wrong is contrary cramped holding pen, when fingers are developing pen pressure. Parents of children may notice, for example, that the child has a curved finger while holding a pen. The child is then at this writing soon tired of writing the next he wants and often also suffer from pain in the hand or fingers. Is also not cramped low holding the fingers grip the pen too close to its tip. Parents should then follow it even if the child does not hold a pen called pěstičkovým grip. He usually looks so that the thumb is bent over pen and fingers are clenched fist.
"Before you start writing it is appropriate for the child practiced hand and release the muscles that are involved in the writing. This "warm-up" is especially important for children who are just getting started with writing and are on hand movements used during writing, "says Jana Johnová. The first release of the hand should take place before the beginning of writing, it is also advisable to release the child's hand and while typing.
2. Subparagraph at the correct slope
In the early stages of writing should be careful as to proper pitch font. Scripture should always be directed to the right, ideally at an angle of 75 °, or at least in the range of 60-90 °. With the right slope of a child also helps suitable rotation workbook, the right-handed shooting right corner upwards. For left-handers it should be the other way around, but this is not required. If a pupil - hander - suits have rows horizontally, they should respect the teachers and not try to force a child turning paper.
Tendency to bad font is then vice versa slope to the left or the so-called frond slope, where the first letter tends to the left, the other is perpendicular and gradually passes into proper pitch. Another problem is shaky and uneven handwriting - it usually arises too much pressure on the pen or convulsive possession.
3rd Session affecting writing
Although at first glance may not seem to affect the baby-sitting his writing and font appearance. "The child should sit on the whole chair, both feet should be placed squarely on the platform and heel placed under the knees. Also important is the distance from the ground and head straight back, "says Jana Johnová. He adds also that the knees should be spaced apart by the breadth of both children's fists. Parents should therefore monitor whether their child is seated properly and seek a remedy when errors are detected, and also remember the fact that the child learns imitation. Permissible then writing is not sitting on the edge of a chair, legs hooked over the edge of a chair or head too low over the paper.
