Did you know that fine motor skills in preschool and kindergarten are the number one best predictor of academic skills and achievement for your kindergarten age student? (Cameron, et al.: 2012; Grissmer, David, et al.: 2010; Son & Meisels: 2006) This fine motor advantage lasts for at least through the third grade! (Kulp: 1999)
As an Occupational Therapist, I have designed differentiated Skill Builders to
◦ Build fundamental fine motor and executive functioning skills for kindergarten age kids.
◦ Target specific CCSS literacy and math skills in ways that interest and engage even the most reluctant children.
◦ Provide differentiated yet equivalent materials so you can easily provide the just-right level of difficulty and challenge for a classroom with diverse skills.
