The Benefits of Writing in Child Development
Writing is a skill that is so fundamentally important, that we almost take it for granted. Writing and reading are two sides of the same coin. There is not a single writer of merit, who is also not a well-practiced reader. Language is how we communicate with the world, and reading literacy is one of the most important determining factors in life successes, because it gives you access to knowledge.
Not only is writing important for literacy reasons, but you must also consider the act of writing is also practicing the skill of organizing your thoughts. Having your child practicing their writing skills, it will improve their cognitive functions and overall performance in learning other tasks. Here are 3 items Hygloss offers that will not only encourage your child to write, but sure to enjoy it too!
Start with the Basics: Letter Recognition and Phonics
The Hygloss Dazzlin' Dough Language Kit is a logical, yet fantastic starting point for your child to start learning their letters. Available in uppercase and lowercase versions, the dough kit comes with 32 reusable, laminated cards. It features every letter of the alphabet, plus activities and games, with a total of 61 activity cards. It also includes 3 tubs of dough and a dry-erase marker, for hours of educational and interactive fun! Tactile learning is one of the best ways to teach and reinforce new information!
Practice Makes Perfect
After learning their ABC’s, students then learn how to write, by practicing on how to stay in the margins of lined paper. We adults take this for granted (sometimes our letters still dip below—I’m looking at you “g”), but it’s definitely a skill that requires practice. Being able to write within the lines shows that not only does your child have a mastery in the concept of letters, but also has the motor skills and perception to understand how to correctly keep things in proportion.
These Colorful Lined Books are sure to be an appealing way to get your child to practice their basic writing skills. Like all of our products, they are educational, but also fun for all ages!
Writing off the Beaten Path
At this point, your child is probably used to lined paper and practicing writing in a structured way. Our Hygloss Blank Books are a great way for children to break free of the rules and constraints of lined books. Now, they're able to write as small or big as they want to, as well as draw pictures to go along with their writings. These books are an amazing canvas that children can get really creative with! A number of our products can be used to adore these books and make them highly personalized and special.
For example, you can use Hygloss Glitter and some glue to sparkle up the covers, so they can really shine, even when closed. You can use a variety of writing utensils in these books, such as crayons, markers, paint, and of course, a pencil or pen. With all of these options, there’s no shortage of creative ideas that can be accomplished within the simple canvas provided. A good canvas for one's imagination is always sturdy, reliable, and most importantly, blank!
