Performing graphic dictations with a child is a very useful activity for both preschoolers and schoolchildren. You can start classes as soon as the child reaches 4 years old. With their help, you can systematically prepare your child for school, and help him learn.
Such drawings on the cells well develop and prepare the baby's hand for writing, teach to navigate in space and notebooks, develop imagination, thinking and logic. They teach children to be attentive, to follow exactly the instructions that an adult offers them. With the help of cells, it is possible to draw almost any drawing or pattern.
Dictations can be of different difficulty levels. For beginners, you need to select easy dictations; for the first lessons, drawing simple geometric shapes in cells is suitable. Gradually, classes should be complicated.
All that will be needed for the lesson is pencils - simple or colored, an eraser, instructions for doing, a notebook sheet in a cage. Many ready-made instructions can be seen in Kholodova's developmental notebooks. It is necessary to draw observing the number of cells indicated in the instructions and the direction of movement shown by the arrows.
In the article, we offer an example of how you can draw a deer by the cells.
For older children, you can offer already complex drawings by cells or sketching from a sample, when it is necessary to completely paint over a certain number of cells in the right direction.
For an example of a lesson, see the following video.
