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.

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.
