This book gives your child the opportunity to develop their manual dexterity and pencil-control skills by tracing lines through mazes following clear directional indicators. Mazes allow your child to draw creatively and thereby practice the pencil skills necessary for good handwriting. Kumon Basic Skills Workbooks ensure that children master pencil-control skills with ease so that they love learning independently. Everything in our Basic Skills Workbooks—from the sturdy paper to the engaging content—is designed with the best interests of your child in mind.
