But the act of writing doesn\u2019t just magically begin when children sit down with a pencil and paper. In the early years of a child\u2019s life, they are already building the vital skills and physical strength necessary to write! That means there\u2019s plenty you can do early on to set your child up for writing success later in life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, encouraging large arm movements through play helps build the muscles kids will need later to sit and hold a pencil properly. Climbing, physical play, and making large drawings are all fun, easy ways to build gross motor skills. You&#8217;ll also want to encourage fine motor skill development, which will help your child grip their writing utensil properly. Playing with blocks and Lego, threading beads, drawing, picking up small objects, and having fun with stickers are all simple activities that encourage dexterity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"give\">2. Give children a special writing space &amp; provide supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-gustavo-fring-3985033.jpg\" alt=\"Mother and child writing together\" class=\"wp-image-14592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-gustavo-fring-3985033.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-gustavo-fring-3985033-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/mother-and-daughter-bonding-3985033\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photo by Gustavo Fring<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the simplest ways to encourage your child to write is to provide lots of fun writing materials like paper, pencils, markers and crayons. In their early years, give your children free rein to scribble as much as they want. This helps them build motor skills and get used to the physical act of writing, as well as helping them learn to express their thoughts and feelings on the page. You can further encourage your child\u2019s imagination and verbal skills by discussing and asking questions about their scribbles and artwork. Can you tell me a story about this drawing? Why did you choose blue here? What\u2019s the girl doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to ensure that your child has a special space to write and do artwork, free of distractions. A child-sized desk or table is perfect for this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"read\">3. Read, Read, Read<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3755707.jpg\" alt=\"Child reading\" class=\"wp-image-14595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3755707.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3755707-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/photo-of-girl-reading-book-3755707\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photo by Andrea Piacquadio<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading books together has countless benefits for children, and one of them is that it encourages writing skills. Reading a variety of stories builds imagination and gives children more ideas they\u2019ll want to write down. Reading is also a fantastic opportunity to point out words your child will recognise from everyday conversation\u2014this will help children make the all-important link between spoken words and written text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"praise\">4.

Like adults, most children don\u2019t like to make mistakes, but mistakes are inevitable when learning a new skill. Your child probably won\u2019t start off writing grammatically correct sentences or spelling words correctly, but it\u2019s important that you encourage them anyway. After all, in the early stages of learning, the most important thing is that they feel comfortable expressing themselves through writing\u2014the fine-tuning can come later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"make\">5. Make it fun!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-cottonbro-6140211.jpg\" alt=\"Parent and child writing together\" class=\"wp-image-14598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-cottonbro-6140211.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-cottonbro-6140211-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/dad-watching-her-daughter-make-a-christmas-letter-6140211\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photo by cottonbro<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, remember that writing doesn\u2019t have to be just sitting down at a desk with paper and a pencil. It can also be using chalk outdoors, forming letters with play clay or writing in sand or shaving foam. It can be scrawling messages on the fogged-up mirror after bath time or writing jokes on Post-it notes to stick around the house\u2026 It can be practising spellings on a dry erase board, or using chalkboard paint to transform one of your walls into a giant message board\u2026 It can be playing word games together, such as crossword puzzles, Hangman, or card games. After all, getting creative and having fun is probably the best way to motivate your children to learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For some brilliant educational toys &amp; games for children, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/categories\/educational\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our website<\/a>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Why does the elephant use her trunk as a bookmark?<strong> So she NOSE where she stopped reading!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/jokes\/\" style=\"background-color:#18aa1d\">WICKED UNCLE JOKE FACTORY<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing is an important life skill and a key method of communication, so it\u2019s no wonder that it\u2019s one of the first things children learn in school!
