Our Handwriting Without Tears writing program teaches proper letter formation using lines and curves. We have started by using these wooden pieces (big line, little line, big curve, little curve) to build the letters in the word work area. Ask your child what wooden pieces would be needed to make certain upper case letters. See if your learner can tell you!!
Check us out using lines and curves to build upper case letters...
Strengthening fine motor using thumb tacks to pin punch lines and curves...
I was so impressed with how slowly and carefully they worked!! The nice thing about using thumb tacks is it really encourages proper pencil grip!! The focus and patience needed for this task is extensive!
Watch us work....
Carrying on studying measurement in the science area and recording our findings...
Here you see your scientists drawing a ruler and measure object from our science window...
Another part of the Handwriting Without Tears (HWT) program includes forming letters on chalkboards. This week your writer practiced drawing lines and curves using water and Q-Tips. Another great way to support proper pencil grip, focus, and hand strength...
Hopefully your learner is able to explain any work they bring home! If not, show them these pictures!! Enjoy!
