Visual closure in handwriting group

Visual closure is the ability to identify an object even though its outline has been fragmented.  The parts come together to enable the whole to be seen.  This helps children in understanding that each letter, although representative on its own, has meaning when placed together with others to form a word.

The P1/2 and P2/3 Handwriting group had great fun with this activity this week.  Yes, it is just like dot-to-dot :-)

 

We told our talking partners which shape we thought they had done the best job of.  We were looking for smooth lines to complete the shape.

I think that's your best one.

 

That one has nice smooth lines.Well done.
