Beginner Level
In this small-group class that meets twice a week, we will learn uppercase and lowercase cursive letters, how to connect letters into words, and how to copy sentences from print to cursive. I use Handwriting Without Tears along with my own tips and tricks I gained over 20 years of handwriting instruction. This curriculum works well for all learners, including learners with dyslexia or dysgraphia. I am very encouraging to my students and believe that the best way to learn is through a relaxed, fun environment. Class Schedule 5 minutes- Introductions/Questions 30 minutes- Teach, trace and write the letters of the day. 5 minutes- Provide extra help as needed Learners will be asked to trace letters on the screen using the annotation feature of Zoom. A video will be provided for those who do not know how to use this tool. Learners will also be asked to show their work on screen, so students will need to keep their cameras on throughout the session. We will then complete a portion of our worksheets leaving the rest for practice after the session is finished. I also provide an extra practice sheet for each letter. We will also learn to write our first names in cursive.

However, these classes are not to be considered occupational therapy treatment sessions and should not take the place of therapeutic interventions. I base my instruction on the Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum but also use my own techniques that I have acquired over my 20 years of working directly with students. If you are concerned with your child's development, please speak to your pediatrician.
Learning Goals
Students will learn correct letter formation for both the lowercase and uppercase cursive alphabets. Students will have a functional signature.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I was a school-based Occupational Therapist for 20+ years working with children ages 3-21 in public schools. My largest caseload was children ages 4-8 with autism and/or a learning disability.
I am very flexible with my families. If you need to miss an ongoing class, please let me know so that I can refund you for the week. I never want parents to pay for missed instruction! I also offer coupons! Just message me and let me know.
I have completed all of the Learning Without Tears workshops and use this curriculum, along with the Size Matters Handwriting Curriculum. I believe that the best way to teach is to use fun and engaging activities along with humor and silliness to engage with my students.
Feel free to message me with any course ideas you would like me to develop or if you have any questions.
I can teach any of my classes 1:1 through my tutoring sessions.
