The methodology of teaching writing in primary grades. Pisarevsky D.A.

Calligraphy - the art of a beautiful letter - came to the world from ancient China and Japan. And today in these countries, calligraphy is very popular.

in Russia, unfortunately, this art comes into decline. Among people who are far from knowledge of psychology, physiology and pedagogy, there was talk about stopping teaching children to write. "What is it for? All that is necessary can be dialing on a computer or smartphone! ”.

But why. Calligraphy perfectly develops fine motor skills. And people noticed the relationship between fine motor skills and brain development many centuries ago. Many scientists and teachers in the XIV-XX centuries were seriously studying this connection.

Maria Montessori, the Italian doctor and teacher, noticed that if problems arise with the speech of the child, fine motor skills were guilty of this. Montessori believed that the better his fingers are developed, the faster the baby begins to speak.

Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev, an outstanding Russian psychiatrist, neuropathologist, physiologist, psychologist, was sure that hand movements were always closely related to speech and They contributed to its development.

The wonderful teacher Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky wrote: “The origins of the abilities and talents of children are at the tips of their fingers. From the fingers, figuratively speaking, the finest streams are coming, which feed the source of creative thought. In other words: the more skill in the child’s hand, the smarter the child. ”

and today it is already known that fine motor skills, and therefore calligraphy play an important role in the development of attention, memory, thinking, speech and Orientation in space.
