Following Pros, the little yellow alien, throughout the pages of this activity book, children will be challenged in different tasks and exercises.

The exercises start before holding a pen: with a fun sticker of the little spaceship, children can start to trace the lines to train the movements of the hand. Colouring within the borders, following lines, closing and opening shapes: children will start to hold a pen correctly gradually and enhancing in new abilities that will prepare them for writing later in life.

In 50 Fantastic Ideas for Early Writing Prompts, Alistair Bryce-Clegg offers a collection of all of his favourite ideas and inspirations that have motivated the children he works with to pick up their pencils and get scribbling!
