The tracing of lines in the swing exercises is a great training for the, at first playful, handling of pens and prepare them by practicing the precise guiding of the pen, specifically for writing letters and generally training the graphomotor skills. The exercises give the children a feeling for the movements while writing. The tracing of the lines loosens and strengthens the hand and arm movements necessary for writing and exercises the coordination of hand and eyes. In addition, the correct pen position (three-point grip) can also be improved in these exercises. And besides, the tasks are fun for the children - and that is certainly the most important requirement for learning.
