Not only broken line drawing with demonstration, assistance, independence and intense practice enhances attentiveness; provides fine motor movement therapy of dominant hand and fingers; but also becomes the a readiness experience towards hand-writing skills for quiet a few children as gathered by a clinical study on a six-year old dysgraphic child as shown in the illustrated collage.
Read the collage carefully to get a sense how to improve learning by child with special needs for pre-writing skills.

Also, finger tracing of the drawn lines can lead to multi-sensory inputs for working memory development.
