Relación entre la motricidad fina y dificultades de escritura en niños y niñas de educación básica mediante investigaciones realizadas en Ecuador en el período 2016-2021.

Abstract

The development of fine motor skills is of vital importance, because eventually it will be the weapon to perform adequately in the school world, and later in life. It has to do with writing, with the handling of tasks that require greater detail, for example, knitting, nailing, etc. Therefore, it is essential to motivate this area as early as possible, to the extent that each age allows and requires it. The preschool stage is fundamental for the motor development of children, most parents believe that it is useless to spend these years in school in which they only dedicate themselves to tearing paper, punching, drawing, coloring, playing with play dough, among other simple but basic manual activities to define their fine and gross motor skills. What every parent should know is that fine motor stimulation is essential before learning to write, which requires coordination and motor training of the hands. Sequence exercises, for example, are important to achieve mastery and dexterity of the fine muscles of the fingers and hands. A good development of that dexterity will be reflected when the child begins to handle the graphic signs with harmonic and uniform hand movements on the notebook page. The difficulties of some primary school children who still do not manage to hold a pencil well, make defined strokes, write at a higher speed or color without going out of space, come precisely from the poor training they have had in their motor skills.
