This prewriting pattern set comes with 13 tiles/boards and is aimed at supporting children with developing their fine motor skills as well as movements that are linked to pattern and letter formations.  Inspired by the School of Maria Montessori.  This set is to be used prior to starting tracing the letters of the alphabet according to Montessori principles.  These tracing patterns will help improve correct formation, motor memory and helps increase pressure for sustainable writing.  This is a great tactile way for your children to practice the types of lines which make up the letters of the alphabet._x000D_n_x000D_nThe first board focuses on the basic lines used in most letters e.g. straight horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines and on the reverse we have a repeating pattern which will help your child practice those lines. The second board has curved and wavy lines which also help to form letters of the alphabet and on the reverse are the next stage shapes that will help them in forming letters.
