This book was written to provide all practitioners with an in depth understanding of how young children develop physically and how this impacts directly on their ability to control and manipulate writing tools.

Based on research and proven practice it looks in depth at the core skills of gross and fine motor development and each chapter includes a wealth of ideas and tips to help you teach your children.

We hope you enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed writing it and that it inspires you to reflect on your current practice and take action to target your children's specific physical skills.

We know it will make a difference!
