From Rattles To Writing

This groundbreaking guide (written by an occupational therapist) describes the songs, games, toys, activities, and adaptations that help children develop the visual-perceptual skills needed to read and the eye-hand coordination to write.

Especially for parents, this comprehensive, fun guide helps provide the right activities at each stage of a young child's development. Learn about typical development to introduce activities at the right time and in the right sequence. For birth to age 5.
