The program includes printable activities, a video demonstrating the desired finger movements and execution of each activity. The activities are fun, easy to prepare and low cost.

Cutting is an easy, fun way to practice the hand muscles necessary for writing. We use the same muscles and fingers (thumb, index, and middle fingers) for both cutting and writing activities. It is an essential development skill for school readiness and supports writing and pencil grasp development. The WriteAbility cutting skills activity resource includes guidelines for the use and development of cutting skills.
