dc.description.abstractThis research aimed to determine the effectiveness of Play-Based Learning strategies in enhancing pre-writing skills among Pre-K students at Saint Jude School, Costa Rica, during the first quarter of 2025. The study employed a mixedmethods approach, combining pre- and post-assessments with anecdotal records and classroom observation. Five pre-writing indicators were assessed: pencil grasp, tracing accuracy, shape tracing, bilateral coordination, and fine motor play. The findings revealed a significant improvement in all indicators after the implementation of student-centered, hands-on activities rooted in the principles of Play-Based Learning. Notable progress was observed particularly in tracing accuracy and shape tracing. Additionally, qualitative data showed increased motivation, independence, and engagement among students. The proposal presented in Chapter VI suggests a practical, developmentally appropriate set of strategies that encourage exploration through play invitations and the intentional use of materials. Rooted in a variety of early childhood pedagogies, the study concludes that Play-Based Learning is a powerful and effective approach for fostering writing readiness in young learners.
