Move → Trace → Write → Create

Handwriting starts in the shoulder and the hand, not the alphabet. The path begins with movement and ends with a child writing something they actually wanted to write.

1 Move Big movements, straight paths, curves and loops before any letter appears.
2 Trace Guided letter shapes with starting dots and direction arrows.
3 Write Letters without a trace, then first words on a real baseline.
4 Create Sentences the child chooses, inside a project worth finishing.
