Developing Cutting Skills: Stages 1-3, Grade PreK

Help children develop coordination and fine motor skills with this series of two books created by occupational therapists and classroom teachers. Each book outlines developmental milestones for children aged 4 to 7 that can be used for planning, assessment, and creating individual education plans. Reproducible worksheets provide multiple opportunities for children to practice cutting skills in an engaging format. Worksheets are accompanied by teacher notes with simple, easy-to-follow instructions and information about hand dominance, scissor grip, cutting line accuracy, body posture, and thumb position when cutting. In this book, children learn how to hold scissors and paper and cut along a line. In the companion book, Developing Cutting Skills (Stage 4) , children learn to cut along corners and curves.
