Why Prewriting is Important:
Children can develop several skills through these Fun Writing Activities. So, Let’s look at some of the highlights.
Fine Motor Skills: Obviously, children use tools when they engage with pre-writing assignments. That is, the child works with tools like pencil and eraser. Chief among them is the handling of pencils. Therefore, holding and moving the pencil improves children’s fine motor skills.
Hand-Eye Coordination: These prewriting assignments have kids writing patterns and shapes. To write and connect each of those shapes and patterns correctly, one must have good hand-eye coordination. So through such assignments, it develops naturally in children.
Focus and Attention: In prewriting assignments, children are often asked to draw lines. Children must have good attention to draw lines correctly. Similarly, children should have good patience. So these types of pre-writing assignments improve children’s attention.
It is very important to prepare children before writing. For that, children should first learn to write by drawing lines, curved lines, and shapes. Through it, children get training in writing letters. For example, proper handling of writing tools, hand manipulation, and preparation of children’s minds to write letters also occur before writing.

Practice Daily:
Give children a pre-writing assignment each day. Daily exercise also improves their memory. And doing a lot of work a day is tiring for children both mentally and physically. Therefore, it is advisable to give children one pre-writing task per day.
Add Some Color:
Making it more interesting for kids to trace these lines will keep them from getting bored and doing the assignment. Therefore, crayons or colored pencils can be used instead of pencils. This makes drawing colored lines fun for kids. If you think pencil is best for this, let the fish be colored after the writing is done. Also gives a good finish to the activity.

For example, you can allow them to finish within a certain time frame. Also, you can divide the children into groups and organize more pre-writing games.
