Both the groups were given treatment to investigate: (i) Effects of fine motor skills on writing of low achievers students, (ii) Effect of fine motor skills on writing of high achievers students, (iii) to compare the effect of fine motor skills on writing of both low achievers and high achievers students. At the end of the treatment/interventions activity, a Post– Test was conducted to the sample. The numerical data thus collected was analyzed and interpreted by implying statistical tools.
