Abstract: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted in-person education, causing children to miss essential kindergarten learning and early motor skill development. This gap has led to difficulties in handwriting, including poor letter formation, spacing, and size regulation. Objective: To improve letter formation and alphabet sizing in first-standard children using principles of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Sensory Integration (SI). Methods: An intervention program was collaboratively designed by occupational therapists, teachers, and school counsellors. The program combined PNF techniques to enhance motor coordination with SI strategies to improve perceptual and sensory-motor processing. Structured handwriting exercises targeted letter formation, alignment, and size consistency. Results: Initial findings demonstrated significant improvement in handwriting fluency, legibility, and uniformity of letter size. Children showed better motor planning, coordination, and sensory feedback during writing tasks, indicating the effectiveness of the combined PNF–SI approach. Conclusion: Handwriting is a critical skill for academic success and cognitive development. This study highlights the potential of integrating PNF and SI principles as an innovative intervention to address handwriting difficulties in children whose foundational learning was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
