Mead Writing Fundamentals

mead.jpgLaurel has always possessed freakish focus when it comes to working with paper, and as a preschooler, she’s added writing and paper cutting to her crayon, paint, marker, and collage repertoire. We can never have enough activity books around, and currently are enjoying Mead’s Writing Fundamentals line. These activity books use multimodal cues (such as visual via color, and tactile via raised rulers) to enhance fine motor development (stage 1), letter formation (stage 2), primary writing (stage 3), and writing fluency (stage 4). Some of the directions are a tad overdone, but otherwise these books offer a fun, commercial character free means to introduce and develop writing skills. Laurel’s favorite is the Shape Builders learn to draw book; the results are so cute that we’re adding them to her already bulging art archives.

    OH BOY

    Mead Learn To Letter Tablet.

    Wow, I had no idea that Mead has all these great products. My daughter is 3 years Old and I was looking for a way to teach her to write. I can't wait to try your products.

    these are made my mead? this is so good to know- a reasonable yet excellent activity book for my majorly-busy-pre-schooler! thanks so much!

    My daughter is only two weeks old, but this would be something worth holding on to for her to use later. What wonderful ways to teach your toddler. I would just love to get one of these!

    My little nephew is autistic and I think the Connect with Color might be a good learning tool for him.

    i have a very interested 2 yr old grandaughter and i think she would benefit with the Mead® Colorbound

    I would love to win this for my nieces, they are so ready for these kinds of things.

    This will make a wonderful Christmas gift

    My granddaughter would love this. How much fun would it be to spend time with her using these books!

    Thank you so very much, my child would really love this.
