This program aligns with Science of Reading, making connections between handwriting and reading. Daily 10–15-minute-long scripted lessons also offer options for students who need remediation. Letters are taught in developmental order, with capitals first and then lowercase. Blue lettering identifies your instructor’s script; icons identify unique tasks like reading, writing, and tech connections. Note: digital tools identified with a laptop/tablet icon are only available for traditional classrooms. Students are encouraged to read, sing, draw, and engage in various other multisensory activities. With this guide, you have the freedom to easily pick and choose learning activities that best fit and support your student’s learning. To provide students with more writing opportunities, add the Student Writing Journal.158 pgs, sc. ~ Ruth

Prior to starting this level, students should have had some exposure to print handwriting and be able to write the basic lines and shapes needed in letter formation and understand proper pencil grip and posture. However, the student text does begin with a quick overview of these concepts. Then learning continues with capitals and numbers. This is not “just a handwriting book.” This program takes a complex task and makes it easy to teach and understand in an active and engaging way. While targeted for grade 1, this level can be used for any student who needs to shore up printing skills in earnest. Singing and other multisensory activities implement specially designed writing tools and build key skills. Student and teacher packages that include the basic required manipulatives are available. ~ Ruth
