Despite today's digitalization, writing remains important, but not all children are "ready to write" at the transition to the first grade. That's why we at Kindercentrum De Groeitrap offer the opportunity to work in groups on preparatory writing and all conditions necessary to come to writing efficiently.

Why should I enroll my child in "Schrijfstarters"?

• Under the guidance of experienced physiotherapists, we work in groups on the conditions for efficient writing.
• Working in groups is motivating. Children can have fun together and learn from each other.
• Working in groups provides better transfer of what has been learned than one-on-one, because the context is similar to a classroom situation.
• Group lessons begin with an individual assessment of the WRITIC, a writing motor skills assessment tool, from which individual goals are set. In other words, the biggest stumbling blocks are identified for each child.
• Each lesson is based on an objective, but with differentiation based on each child's developmental level.
• Each lesson is playful and themed, and is built around our previously shared "car pencil grip," a trick to help children remember what an efficient pencil grip is.
• Intrinsic motivation is developed by giving children a say in objectives and activities.
• There is close cooperation between therapists, parents and teachers.

A series of lessons consists of 10 one-hour sessions and an informative parent evening . The lessons are held every Friday from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, starting in February. The exact dates will be available online soon.

The price is €250, including VAT. In addition to the 10 lessons and the parent evening, your child will receive a practice book full of fun exercises and tips for home use.

The lessons will take place at Kindercentrum De Groeitrap, Tervuursesteenweg 206, 3060 Bertem

Together on the road to efficient writing
