Most 21st-century children don’t get enough daily exercise and enter school lacking the basic strength and coordination they need to be successful at simple tasks, such as gripping a pencil or sitting upright at a desk. The fine-motor and gross-motor activities in this book target the physical obstacles that can slow down students in an era of more rigorous academic expectations. Quick, fun, and engaging, these activities can be done easily at any time of the day to help build the physical skills young learners need to write with stamina and fluency.
