![Fine Motor](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/unode1/assets%2Fpage-editor%2F628bbeec80a837a3fa029474_Screen_Shot_2022-05-23_at_1.05.33_PM-p-1600.1658275122.png)
Fine motor skills are the refined movements and actions of the small muscles in your hands, wrist and fingers. They can be broken down into different motor components such as dexterity, precision, coordination and grasp. Fine motor skills include using a scissor, grasping a pencil, manipulating buttons, and picking up small objects.
![Gross Motor](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/unode1/assets%2Fpage-editor%2Fgrossmotor.1659115772.png)
Gross motor skills refers to the large muscles and joints in your body that help you move in a controlled and coordinated way. They are important for building the foundation for other movements and directly influence the efficiency of fine motor skills. They include skills such as balancing, sitting, running and standing.
![Academic Skills](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/unode1/assets%2Fpage-editor%2F628bbf2f30d8cfd73b370c4d_Screen_Shot_2022-05-23_at_1.06.44_PM-p-1600.1658275147.png)
Academics skills are important to develop at a young age as they are the foundation for learning. Since the complexity of academics increases, it’s vital that children are given opportunities to build strong academic skills from an early age. These skills range from imaginary play and letter recognition to time management and organizational skills.
![Sensory Processing](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/unode1/assets%2Fpage-editor%2F628bbe96d936a6be8298bd52_Screen_Shot_2022-05-23_at_1.04.13_PM-p-1600.1658275166.png)
Sensory processing is the brain’s ability to register, process and respond appropriately to sensory stimuli from the environment. Our sensory systems are comprised of sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, vestibular and proprioception. Using a multisensory approach allows children to make deeper connections and learn concepts in a richer manner.

Behind the Play
OT with Me, created by Melissa Putterman Spitz, M.S. OTR/L, uses play as a tool to engage children in the most natural way possible. Melissa’s approach is functional, creative and supportive. She shares her knowledge and expertise, empowers parents and offers children endless opportunities for learning.
As parents, we may not know how to do everything, but we know what our kids need.
Adventures in Handwriting is the right place for you if
Who it's For
We aren't experts in everything we teach our kids. Adventures in Handwriting bridges that gap. The program is designed for children of all ability levels. It’s educational, engaging and a positive way to use screen time to your advantage. Whether you choose to join your child or let them watch on their own, you’ll both be learning fun ways to improve fine motor and handwriting skills.
Adventures in Handwriting is a full or supplemental course curriculum for teaching lines, shapes and letters. It supports teachers and complements concepts learned in school. Children will benefit from performing a variety of multisensory activities, not just pen to paper practice. Teachers will learn new techniques to enrich classroom learning.
As healthcare professionals, we want to ensure a child continues to work on their goals, even when we aren't there. Adventures in Handwriting can be used as a home program to supplement the skills being taught and practiced in your sessions. It’s a useful tool to monitor their progress while keeping them motivated.

Hear What Happy Parents Have to Say
#1 fans of Adventures in Handwriting!! As a speech pathologist specializing in early childhood speech, language and play, and a mom of a 4 year old daughter, I understand the importance of engaging resources that align with her stage of learning. This program strikes the perfect balance, with activities that my daughter adores and can engage with independently. She loves following along with Miss Melissa, and we both have huge smiles when she proudly holds up her completed work, exclaiming "ta-da!!!!" each time she finishes an activity.
Jenna, 5 year old daughter
In a perfect world, every child would have access to Ms. Melissa’s Adventures in Handwriting program. I used to have to battle my kids to get them to work on their letters, and now they are the ones asking me to turn on Ms. Melissa! Her program is so entertaining that I find myself being drawn into it! As a teacher, I cannot thank Ms. Melissa enough for creating a program that actually makes practicing handwriting fun while also teaching proper techniques. I can actually read what my kids are writing and to me, thats priceless!
Monica, 5 year old son
As an educator, I found immense value in incorporating the Adventures in Handwriting program into my teaching arsenal. This dynamic and engaging resource has not only captivated my students interest, but has fostered substantial progress in their handwriting skills. The inclusion of manipulatives make learning engaging and facilitate a deeper understanding of the material. The programs versatility keeps children actively involved and eager to learn. With its innovative approach and comprehensive curriculum, AiH has proven to be a valuable tool in my classroom. It empowers my students to master the art of handwriting with enthusiasm and confidence.
Ms. Meredith, Pre-K Teacher
OT with me has truly changed our life! This program is amazing. It is easy to follow, exciting, and engaging for kids - all while being educational. My son's ability to improve his letter formation in such a short amount of time is remarkable. Melissa's videos truly capture his attention and make learning to write more fun. Not only is Adventures in Handwriting so well structured, but Melissa's knowledge and expertise puts this program on another level. Her attention to detail as well as support when needed makes it one of a kind. I highly recommend this program to everyone!!!
Allie, 5 year old son
My daughter loves the everything about Adventures in Handwriting, especially the Adventure Kit! She loved exploring all of the tools—especially the yellow putty and the stickers! I loved how the videos allowed her to be independent in learning the upper case letters at her own pace. Her baby sister watched along attentively and now wants her own kit! Thank you Adventures in Handwriting for making handwriting a fun home activity!! Would 10/10 recommend the program to my friends for their kids.
Megan, 4 year old daughter
I love Adventures in Handwriting. As a mom, it makes me happy to see that my kids are doing something academic and yet, having so much fun. My kids love to follow along with the interactive videos and use all the supplies. They can play/learn independently while I accomplish making dinner. They’ll even play with the supplies without the video. The kit is easy to clean up and conveniently portable. It’s coming with us on our next vacation. Thank you Miss Melissa for creating something so entertaining and educational! We LOVE it!
Cassandra, 5 year old son & 4 year old daughter
As a teacher for 20 years, I know the importance of handwriting and Adventures in Handwriting has been a game changer! It teaches proper letter formation in a consistent and fun way. I love the ease of the program and the mutlisensory approach. It has made teaching so simple and the children are always asking for more! Even I look forward to the next adventure.
