- Number writing
- Children learn to write numbers using proper stroke order.
- Letter writing
- Children use knowledge of letter names and shapes to write both uppercase and lowercase letters.
- Shapes
- Children learn to recognize the defining properties of shapes (such as a square having four sides of equal length and a triangle having three sides) and identify them in different rotations.
- Art and drawing
- As they draw, children develop spatial reasoning, visual acuity, and hand control, which later helps them write letters.
