Highland Literacy - Emerging Literacy - Pencil Control
Pencil control concepts are the different aspects which underpin the way in which you hold and manoeuvre the pencil on the page in a purposeful manner. Before children are explicitly taught how to form the letters of the alphabet, it is recommended that they develop the pencil control concepts which underpin handwriting. Teachers in early primary can assess children’s pencil control skills using the pencil control screen and plan for pencil control development using the ideas from this Pencil Control Concepts Toolkit.
