Lessons start with the simplest form—capital letters first—grouped together by how they are formed. This volume contains 36 pages focused on capitals. Then, students move to learning lower case. By year’s end, students are tracing an individual letter (both in upper and lower case) in provided sentences. The strongly recommended Teacher Book guides parents in using the unique methodology and provides step-by-step lessons, along with reading and writing connections. The easily identifiable teaching directions are scripted. Using the Teacher Book along with the student text and manipulatives is strongly recommended. Students will learn proper hand grip and letter formation, using the student consumable. The necessary manipulatives (see package KSK25B) include the Letters to Words Blackboard Set; the blackboard with double lines; slate chalkboard with chalk bits; little sponge cubes; the pencil for little hands; and teaching songs (available for free on YouTube®). Other manipulative options such as the Magic C Bunny Puppet or the Student Manipulative Pack are also available. You can add these options in, depending on your student’s need.
