Robbie is learning to write. For a child who has sensory issues, handwriting can be a challenge. He started schooling at Kg1, We needed to practice and encourage him with his handwriting skills. Teaching him with a proper grip of the pencil, lots of encouragement and fun ways, writing can be a little easier and more fun.
Whenever or wherever there is a time we are practicing to write, it gains him confidence when he accomplished a task, and the more he is eager to try to continue with other letters.
With resources like tracing sheets, starting with basic lines is one of his favorite tools for writing, gently encourage him to stay on the line.
It is important to practice writing regularly if possible, as the saying goes "Practice makes it perfect". It will help them improve and get confident at writing. There are numerous fun ways that can help a child to write.

It provides a sensory activity and offers correct movement of the hand.
Finger paint or Write and wipe alphabet book is a great materials, too.
Playing with playdough is our favorite activity in exercising our fine motor skills. It strengthens the little muscles in his hand by squishing, rolling, cutting and building from it. A creative and fun play anytime of the day.
