The Ultimate Handwriting Practice Book Cdo Publications

Why The Ultimate Handwriting Practice BookWhat is unique about The Ultimate Handwriting Practice Book is the incorporation of a fun song. Kids love to sing. By singing the song associated with the course, the child has already incorporated new words into their vocabulary. After learning to write the letters of the alphabet, the child then moves on to the formation of words. Rather than writing individual, unrelated words typical in most handwriting courses, the child writes out the words to the song. By doing this, the child not only has fun by learning to write the words to the song, they are also reinforcing both their written and verbal skills. The Ultimate Handwriting Practice Book begins with the needed exercises that develop important motor skills for creating the letters of the alphabet such as drawing straight/angled lines and curves. Then, by grouping together alphabet letters that are created with a similar formation or features, the child puts to practical use the motor skills they developed. A chart is provided for the teacher to assess how well the child is forming each letter. The child should not move on to the formation of words until the teacher feels they can adequately form each letter. A child who already possess these motor skills can skip the motor skills sections and begin with the exercises for printing the letters. Included in the course are color me pages of the characters in the song and a word search puzzle... because learning should be fun! Why teach handwritingFrom the moment we wake up we communicate to ourselves through our thoughts. We then frequently take those thoughts and jot down notes, reminders, shopping lists, write a thank you note or birthday card, or fill out a deposit slip, etc. Let's face it, inspite of technology, handwriting is an integral part of our everyday life. The truth is, developing good handwriting skills has many benefits in education, employment, and our daily life. Some of these benefits includeBetter memoryAids in the development of fine motor skills involving the fingers, hand, arm, and eyesImproves creativity in our thinking though the interaction of our writing by annotating, editing, correcting, and reshaping our writing. Helps us to slow down and fully engage our thoughts.br>
Our handwriting uniquely identifies us. It can leave a good or bad impression about us to others. Handwritten notes to friends and family conveys an intimacy that typing can't convey. The Ultimate Handwriting Practice Book will provide your child with the needed skills to write legibly.
