Prewriting skills are critical for students to become successful writers in the future. Here at Tots, we include a writing center within the classroom for the students to build the skills needed for future success. Some of the things that children will be learning while they visit the writing center are: letter formation skills, a sense of left-to-right, associations between letters and sounds, communication skills, self-expression, creativity, fine motor skills.
