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. The paper workbook complements the Powerful
Printing Digital Workbook software.
