Ms. Priyanka Barara, Principal, MRG School said, “Prior to kindergarten, fine motor skills are important for school readiness. Research indicates that fine motor skills play a role in cognition and language development. Graphomotor skills also play a significant role in early reading development, even when children do not have cognitive knowledge of letters. Graphomotor skills are the skills necessary for handwriting. Since these skills make the foundation for student’s early education stronger, our school planned this webinar.”  The Principal also added, “Some of the components include visual perceptual skills, visual motor coordination, and the ability to understand, recognize and remember writing components such as letter formation, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation).”
