    Kinds of Writing Movements

    Uploaded by

    There are four main kinds of writing movements: finger movement, hand movement, forearm movement, and whole forearm movement. Each kind of movement is characterized by the part of the body used and the style of writing it produces. Finger movement uses the thumb, index, and middle fingers and results in poor quality writing. Hand movement involves whole hand motion and produces more fluid writing. Forearm movement uses elbow motion and allows for greater speed and rhythm. Whole forearm movement uses the entire arm for large writing styles.

    Kinds of Writing Movements

    Writing

     is the process of using symbols (letters of the alphabet, punctuation and spaces) to
    communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form.
    Finger Movement

     – Is mostly employed in “vertical writing” and mainly in the formation of printed styles of
    writing. Letters are formed by the actions of the thumb, index and the middle finger. This
    is the movement employed by children, or generally by those with whom writing is an
    unfamiliar process, it is otherwise called as the “push and Pull writing”.
    Characteristics

     a. It results to an inferior or poor quality of writing with lack of rhythm and speed.
     b. Spacing is cropped up and the dashes are usually absent.
     c. Finishes are done in irregular and abrupt manner or are varied between letters.
     d. Pen usually starts resting on the paper and ends with short and abrupt strokes due to
    limited and irregular movements of the fingers.
     e. Shading is pronounced.
     f. Lack of clear-cut, smooth and regular lines.
    Hand Movement

     It involves the action of the hand as a whole with the fingers playing but a minor role
    (mainly in the formation of small letters) and the wrist is the pivotal of the lateral
    movement.
    Characteristics

     a. Affords more expensive writing.


     b. Narrow connections at the top and bottom of letters.
     c. There is a considerable speed in movements.
     d. More regularity of the lines.
    Forearm (or Muscular) Movement

     Writing is produced by the movement of the hand and arm and also fingers in some cases.
    The elbow is the pivotal of the lateral movement.
    Characteristics

     a. Shows the greatest freedom and speed.


     b. Smooth clear cut as indicative of rhythm.
     c. Slight shading is produced.
     d. More even baseline.
     e. Lateral movements in longer making the shifting of the writing hand fewer.
     f. Uniformity in size of letters.
    Whole Forearm Movement

     It involves the action of the entire arm without rest and is employed in very large writing.
    Ornamental penmanship, blackboard writing, and by a few writers in making all the
    capital letters are some of the writing where this movement is being employed.
    Kinds of Writing

     Cursive – connected writing


     Script – separated writing
     Block – capitalized writing
    Development of Writing

     1. Children learn writing by following the school copy model.


     2. After acquiring some degree of skill the children no longer follow the school model.
     3. As speed increasing, conscious design and regularity begin to breakdown.
     4. In the course of trial and error, modification are made, simplification and elaboration,
    addition and omission occur.
