Lazy 8 training board | Dysgraphia Writing Board

Figure 8 movement with a stem in the middle.

This method has been used for helping the child engage all parts of the brain and generate a better understanding of how letters relate to each other.

It is a wonderful tool for practicing Lazy Eights (8) which help a child form letters.

A sample way of using the board is to trace the figure eight pattern from middle, up to the left, around and up to the right, and back to the middle. Cycle through three times and then flow right into a letter.

For the letter “a” you’ll write it just as normal, by flowing up the left side, around, up the stem, and down to complete.

Some letters will have to jump out of the groove to complete, such as lowercase “e”.
