FM.F.88 MAKES CONTROLLED MARKS ON PAPER

In this item, we check that the child is using the drawing skills learned so far in this sequence in his free drawing.

How to Assess

Materials: Thick crayons and paper.

Method: Give paper and crayons to your child, and ask him to draw a picture.

Score plus if your child makes at least 3 distinct patterns on the paper (scribble, circular lines, straight lines or other patterns). He must make at least 3 different marks in 3 different places on the paper to score.

How to Teach

Teach by spending time with your child as he draws freely, using demonstrations and verbal encouragement to show how he can cover different areas of the paper, and include different patterns in his drawing. Encourage him to use different colours too.
