Write-on Handwriting Powerful Printing Right-hand

Powerful Printing Workbook (Right-Hand) Ungraded Write-On Handwriting's Powerful Printing Paper Workbook teaches letter formation through easy-to-understand directions. Students construct letters on writing lines that serve as start and stop points. The underlying principle is motor memory. The pattern of each letter is demonstrated to students in the appropriate context-on writing lines. The associated drills provide students with the opportunity to commit these patterns to memory and so acquire the motor skills necessary to write proficiently. The workbook includes an instructor manual at the beginning-four pages of handwriting tips, lesson plans and useful hand and finger exercises for students. The heart of the workbook consists of 112 step-by-step activity pages that teach print. Letters are introduced in groups according to their initial pencil stroke. For example, the "down, up and over" sequence is similar in the letters "r" and "n". By grouping letters of the same basic pattern, the workbook reinforces important spatial and sequential themes, thus facilitating the acquisition of the necessary motor memory. After each group of newly learned letters, students work through additional drills on review pages. More drills follow at the conclusion of the workbook on final review pages that cover all letters. This thorough approach eliminates the need for teacher-made practice worksheets. The Powerful Printing Paper Workbook teaches upper and lower case alphabet letters and the numerals 0-9. The workbook is spiral wired at the top for ease of writing, is available in left-hand or right-hand format, and includes an alphabet strip for reference. It also incorporates other areas of learning by reinforcing spelling patterns and knowledge of the days of the week and months of the year.
