Mark making and writing
Explore purposeful marks, letter and number formation, cutting and comfortable writing practice with adaptable levels of support. A sign for a pretend shop, a path for a toy or a name on a drawing gives a mark a purpose. Model one small action and offer room to try.
Guides to explore
Before you begin
Does every child need the same grip or amount of practice?
No single worksheet decides what support someone needs. Look for comfort and useful control, follow the setting’s advice, and ask an appropriate professional about persistent pain or difficulty. Adapt the activity rather than completing practice to a quota.
Can I practise words other than names?
Yes. The word and sentence tool accepts your own short text. It stays in the browser and the file you choose to download. Try meaningful labels, tickets or messages, and follow your setting’s letter-formation model.
