  • Suitable for use before and alongside any handwriting scheme.

The Foundation 1 CD-ROM covers:

  • Developing gross motor skills
  • Developing fine motor skills
  • Pattern-making
  • Responding to music
  • Straight-line patterns
  • Loops
  • Circles
  • Angled patterns
  • Eights and spirals
"This is an exciting, innovative and well designed resource which targets an important and often neglected early developmental stage of handwriting."
