Size matters….in handwriting! (I don’t know where you
thought I was going with that. J)
One of the most challenging tasks for my handwriting students is remembering
appropriate letter size and placement. I recently came across a cool resource
that can be used at home or in the classroom. The Magnetic Rectasquare Board is
essentially a magnetic wipe-off board that comes with several pink, yellow and
blue magnets of various sizes. Students can write letters on the appropriately
sized squares. This can be used to help with handwriting, spelling and
vocabulary. Check it out here: http://www.realotsolutions.com/products/smhp-magnetic.html
COME LEARN WITH ME! I'm teaching handwriting classes on Thursdays starting this week at the Ethical Humanist Society, 7574 N. Lincoln Ave, Skokie, IL. My Letter Adventures Class emphasizes letter formation using the award winning Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum and multi-sensory strategies for 2 to 6 year olds. While my new Gaming the Cursive Way Class addresses correct cursive letter formation, while working on speed and
accuracy of cursive handwriting for children 8 and up.
