Setting the Stage for Writing

Make sure to have materials that encourage writing available for your child. This could include:

• paper (such as lined paper, blank paper, notebooks)
• writing instruments (such as pencils, pens, pencil crayons, felt markers, etc)
• stage-appropriate scissors, stapler/paper clips/binder clips
• non-permanent surfaces for writing practice (such as whiteboard and whiteboard markers)
• letter manipulatives (such as magnets or blocks)
