Writing involves using graphical symbols and sounds to form words and sentences. Developing writing skills in children establishes a solid foundation to allow them to write quickly, efficiently, and with good technique. It also helps children expand their vocabulary, supports language development, and teaches them to express thoughts and feelings correctly in writing. Developing these skills helps children learn to write neatly and understand what they and others have written. There are different levels of writing skills, starting with pre-writing activities that prepare children before they can write neatly on their own.
