The essential, updated step-by-step guide to getting ready to write from bestselling Early Years expert Dr Alistair Bryce Clegg.

Getting Ready to Write contains all the crucial developmental stages before children even pick up a pencil. The book starts with the theory and latest research and then provides step-by-step innovative ideas for intervention. The book contains inexpensive, accessible ideas for indoor and outdoor provision and includes creative activities such as Dough Gym, Funky Fingers and Writing Like a Jedi!

This new edition breaks down the developmental stages of becoming a mark maker (from palm gripping to shoulder pivot) and includes tried and tested activities for young mark makers to master this important skill ahead of the transition to Key Stage 1 and become confident writers, even in the digital age.
