Schreibforscher-BoxThe Writing Explorer's Box – a new scientifically based way of learning to write

With the Writing Explorer's Box, the experts of the Schreibmotorik Institut have developed a unique learning concept with exercises for teachers. The Schreibmotorik Institut has certified the Writing Explorer's Box.

Writing Explorer's BoxLearning to write is learning to move. A fluent script can only emerge if the hand moves smoothly and automatically. That's how one has more time to concentrate on other things, above all on the content of the written words. Scientific findings show that present concepts for learning to write neglect the automation of the movement. Many pupils write too slowly, cramped and with too much control.

Children explore writing

The learning to write method of the Writing Explorer's Box however puts motor skills first. Based on manifold exercises children should develop automated movement skills. The success in motorical learning doesn't result in copying of given letter shapes. Instead it results in exploring and experiencing individual approaches to solution. Therefore it is important to foster and keep children's motivation to write alive, to create them writing explorers.

Playful and demanding exercises for the classroom

Writing Explorer's BoxThe Writing Explorer's Box contains playful and demanding exercises for the classroom written on cards, ergonomical pens for right and left handers and other suiting STABILO products. It helps teachers in the first two primary school grades to facilitate their pupil's transition to automated handwriting. Each and every letter becomes accessible to the children by means of diverse movement experiences. Deviations of the writing norm are a necessary step on this way and are analysed together.

Exercises with variation possibilities in five chapters

The fundamental training offers various tasks which are the base for a cramp-free and fluent writing. The following three chapters deal with the most important writing skills form, speed and pressure. The concluding writing training supports above all the transfer of the acquired skills. Variation possibilities and the thematic embedding of the workouts increase the children's learning and performance motivation.
