Product Description:
The teacher books in this series have excellent components for teaching students to develop strong penmanship skills. I think the pages of corrective techniques for manuscript 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 terms could be helpful for parents with struggling learners. This volume teaches basic stroke direction for manuscript, capital and lowercase letters and numbers and short sentence practice. ~Judy
Publisher Description:
The Universal Handwriting: Beginning Manuscript Writing Teacher Edition includes elements such as:
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.
These materials are graded specifically and include both instruction and practice.
