Description

The teacher books in this series have excellent components for teaching students to develop sound handwriting. This level covers basic cursive letters in upper and lowercase, before moving on to word practice and then sentences. There are good examples of proper ways to join letters. I think the corrective techniques for cursive letter examples and instructions in the back of the book are particularly helpful. I also like the “Katherine's OT Tip" scattered through the lessons in this book, and the Glossary of Occupational Therapy Terms in the back. These details could be immensely helpful for parents with struggling learners. ~Judy

    Category Description for Universal Handwriting (2022 Edition)

    Expanded, revised, and updated, this effective handwriting series continues to get better. Full-color student worktexts offer fun illustrations, colorful instruction boxes, and writing lines with a red baseline and light blue dotted midline in the early grades. Parents will appreciate the "how to use" information that is now included that makes the course more user-friendly. The helpful teacher edition provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for every lesson, reduced student pages and teaching tips – including common problems and corrective techniques. At most levels, the updates are primarily in the words/sentences used, and images. The teaching methodology and sequence is the same except for Writing Readiness. Notable changes impact the books at the PK and K levels. Writing Readiness now focuses on the needs of early childhood and include foundational skill building exercises, and coloring/writing letters with a focus only on upper case letters. Basic Strokes and Letters targets PK skills and covers basic strokes through upper- and lower-case letters. Pretests have been added to Beginning Manuscript and Reinforcing Manuscript.
