Fun invitations to pick up a pencil and start drawing are a
great way to encourage beginner writers. Pose a simple question
and see how the children respond. An easel (or sheet of paper
fastened on a wall) provides an upright surface which helps
children position their hand and wrist well. And a pot full of
interesting pens and pencils is so tempting! Fun literacy ideas
