Develop Letter Formation Using Multi-Sensory Techniques - Programme 2 - Week-by-Week Activities

Sep 16, 2026

A week-by-week letter-formation programme designed to strengthen children’s handwriting through multi-sensory practice. The plan targets multiple letter groups—round, curvy, down-upover, straightdown, U family, and strange letters—and pairs each group with varied tactile and visual activities such as rolling and writing, using marble and templates, sand tray practice, finger paint, shaving cream, play dough, chalk, and tracing support on lined paper. The programme progresses toward independent reproduction without visual prompts.
