One of the fundamental skillsets that preschoolers need to master are 'pre-writing skills'. These are pre-academic abilities, that become a foundation at school age. Pre-writing skills are part of the motor learning that preschoolers experience in early education settings.
Motor learning is the study of the movement processes associated with the practice, such as experience, motivation, reinforcement, motor skills and developmental progress, that lead to a relatively permanent change in a person’s capability for skilled action (Schmidt and Lee, 2005)
