Product Description:
This is a complete "first" handwriting program for young and special learners. It takes a developmental approach to handwriting by teaching a child how to control the pencil and make various strokes before they print the letters. For example, the child practices making tall straight lines and then the letters l and i. The next stroke practiced is a long straight line for letters L, T, t, F, E, H and I. Up and down slanted lines precede the letters V, W, N, M, Z, X, A, Y, K, v, w, z, x, y and k. The child then practices drawing circles before attempting O, Q and o. Left and right "ear curves" are practiced before the letters C, G, c, a, d, e, g, q, D, P, B, R, b, p, S and s. The final strokes are "smiling" and "frowning" curves for the letters U, J, u, j, n, m, h, r and f. In order to practice, there are activity pages with cute blackline drawings on which the child traces the strokes. There are also block style manuscript letters for the child to trace, and space for them to make their own letters. Reproducible "touch and trace" letter cards in the back of the book provide yet another technique to practice letter formation. Use these cards to let your child finger trace the letters being presented. There are also suggestions for activities which help strengthen muscles used in the writing process. There are easy to use instructions in the front of the book. 64 pgs., pb, reproducible. ~ Donna
