Learn & Write About Reptiles: Handwriting Help With an OT

This class is led by an occupational therapist with 23 years experience working with children. 

Each week we will learn location, diet, habitat, and three unique facts about a new reptile. We will review the 3 rules to neat handwriting, and I will provide individual feedback for each student throughout the class.   Students will be provided an optional fact sheet to print and fill out each week that can be made into a fun book. Learners can also use lined notebook paper. We will use pictures, slides, class discussions, and worksheets.

I use Handwriting Without Tears and the Size Matters Handwriting Program as the underlying curriculum in all of my classes. I also utilize strategies and techniques that I have developed over 20 years in public schools. 

This class is best for students with a basic ability to write the letters of the alphabet. Students can join anytime. My weekly topics are based on my learner’s interests and I keep a list of what reptiles they most want to learn about. For this reason, each of my sections cover different reptiles each week. 

Learners have the opportunity to choose a reptile for us to learn about.  Learners take turns choosing the reptile for the following week.
