Spatiality and pregraphics workshop

An operational manual designed to support the learning of spatial and graphomotor prerequisites of children aged 5 to 8. Through operational activities on cards and preparation or muscle strengthening training, children are accompanied in the initiation and/or evolution of writing in capital letters.

The volume presents a program “from the body to the paper” proposing a series of activities – from the simplest to the most complex – focused on spatiality to encourage the stimulation of awareness, planning or mental representation along a specific path that includes:

• Multidimensional stimulation, through global motor activities;
• Three-dimensional stimulation, through concrete manual and manipulative activities;
• Two-dimensional stimulation, through paper and pencil.

Each section of the volume presents a narrative frame – a chapter of the story Timmy the Bunny in the world of signs – which accompanies children along a learning journey. Timmy’s adventures tell of hardships, insecurities and limiting beliefs, states of mind that often characterize the little ones, which is why boys and girls can easily identify with the various characters and grasp positive and empowering messages from the story.
