What are some ways to support each and every child’s success in developing fine motor skills?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Encourage children to attempt buttons, zippers and snaps, giving them only as much assistance as needed.
Many children are easily distracted, so block distractions by placing the manipulative table facing a shelf or make partitions out of laminated file folders or 3 section display boards cut in half to make them shorter.
Define play spaces by putting materials on individual trays, cookie sheets or small throw rugs on the floor.
Create a non-slip workspace by putting down rubbery shelf liner material. Provide a small container to put manipulative pieces in next to the puzzle or game while working to decrease clutter.
Use manipulatives on the floor and well as the table.
Tape the base of a manipulative toy to the table to stabilize it. Use the easel to create a vertical work space for manipulatives.
