Brief Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of a task-oriented writing intervention in improving writing performance among preschool children. The intervention is designed to enhance early writing-related abilities through structured, goal-directed writing tasks that reflect functional and meaningful activities. Eligible preschool children will participate in a series of task-oriented writing sessions delivered in a structured learning environment. Writing performance will be assessed before and after the intervention to examine changes associated with participation in the program. Findings from this study are expected to provide evidence to support the use of task-oriented writing interventions in early childhood educational and therapeutic settings.
