My Project

Studies show that numeral and letter identification are correlated at an early age. Moreover, numeral identification predicts early literacy skills such as word reading. Also, some evidence shows a relationship between letter identification and numeracy skills.

Some children learn better with sensory writing trays rather than with paper and pencil because they need to move and touch as they learn.

If using a pencil or stylus with these activities, children can practice pencil control without the worry or stress of making mistakes.

These sensory writing trays and tactile writing activities help children with handwriting, letter formation, and pre-writing skills.

These sensory writing trays can be used to form letters, numbers, shapes, and pre-writing lines.
