In this relaxed class, students will learn how to form letters correctly (using the Zaner Bloser manuscript style). It is not necessary to attend each week as the classes do not build on each other. Learners can attend on weeks that teach certain letters they are struggling with or they can attend each week to get a good grasp of each letter and lots of practice. We will begin by working on the fine motor skills needed for a good pencil grip while also reinforcing letter recognition. We will do this with a variety of hands-on activities. Next, we will practice forming the letters with manipulatives such as play dough, legos, wiki stix, or whatever material the child has on hand. Finally, we will learn how to properly trace and form the letters on paper. After our hard work, we will have a fun hands-on activity such as making a craft or drawing using the letter of the day. *YOU WILL NEED TO PRINT PAGES EACH WEEK THAT GO ALONG WITH OUR LESSON. The tentative schedule is as follow • Week 1: c/C, a/A, o/O • Week 2: d/D, g/G • Week 3: s/S, e/E • Week 4: t/T, l/L, i/I • Week 5: v/V, w/W • Week 6: u/U, j/J • Week 7: k/K, y/Y • Week 8: p/P, r/R • Week 9: n/N, m/M • Week 10: h/H, b/B • Week 11: f/F, q/Q • Week 12: x/X, z/Z
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to correctly form each letter when printing.
