“It builds the child's confidence and sense of accomplishment after completing each maze”


[THE AIMS AND PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK]


This book gives your child the opportunity to foster pencil control skills by tracing lines through mazes following clear directional indicators. Because this book has many three- dimensional illustrations such as towns, streets, and parks, your child will find the exercises to be enjoyable experiences-just as if he or she is really walking through a maze. By playing with these amazing mazes and drawing lines any way he or she wants, your child will practice the pencil skills necessary to write letters and numbers. Such practice will also help your child acquire the ability to concentrate, and this is a crucial study skill.

When children go through a maze, they usually follow this pattern:
• They see the whole maze, as well as parts of the maze.
• They interpret and understand the way that will reach the exit.
• They actually trace the lines.

Thus, mazes help develop children's ability to interpret what they see, as well as the ability to move their fingers according to that understanding These abilities are necessary precursors to learning letters and numbers. In addition, children have to reason and interpret how to reach the exit again and again. Through this trial- and- error method of finding the right answer, children are able to develop the abilities to reason, interpret, and understand.
