"Handwriting Without Tears: Numerals--Beginner Level"

In this two session class, learners will practice printing numerals. Handwriting Without Tears is a developmentally appropriate method used to teach handwriting to young children.  This method focuses on using verbal cues and simple strokes to teach letters and numerals.  Students will learn that all numerals can be written using simple and repetitive strokes.  For example, the number "2" is taught using the terms "big curve and little line."  Students will practice forming the numerals using play-doh and writing on a dry erase boards.  I will model and teach the strokes for numbers 1-5 for the first class, and then 6-10 for the next class.  I will encourage each writer along the way.  At the completion of this class, the learner will have a good foundation for correct numeral writing.
