Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 9
Intermediate Level
I am excited to introduce a handwriting class designed specifically for my older learners.  This class is for students ages 11-14 year olds.  All of my handwriting classes are based on the Handwriting Without Tears letter formations and the Size Matters Handwriting Program. For this class we will focus primarily on overall legibility with occasional review of a letter formation when I believe it helpful. 

At the beginning of each class I will review my three "Handwriting Rules"- Size, Spacing, and Line Placement.  We will then identify legibility errors on a prewritten sentence before beginning our game.

Each week we will play a game of 'Would You Rather'. Learners will write their choice to each question while focusing on handwriting legibility.  After each question, I will review each learner’s handwriting and provide feedback as they share their choice with the class.

My classes are focused on having fun while doing something that is extremely hard for a lot of learners. I am very relaxed and, at times, silly.  I tailor my feedback to each student's ability and my focus is more on strengths than weaknesses. 

I maintain a quick pace and I ask that my learners keep their cameras on with no blurred backgrounds (to allow me the ability to see the paper). 

Disclaimer:  Drawing from 25 years of experience as an occupational therapist in schools, am able to provide valuable insights and techniques. However, it's important to note that these sessions are purely educational and are not intended to serve as therapeutic interventions. My expertise is limited to handwriting instruction on this platform.

Learning Goals

1.  Verbalize the 3 rules of handwriting legibility
2.  Identify legibility errors on a prewritten sentence.
3. Self-correct legibility errors while writing sentences.

Learning Needs
This class is geared towards learners who struggle with handwriting legibility. I support learners of all abilities and focus a lot on strategies that support the unique learner.
Pre-Requisites
Learners should have basic handwriting skills and be able to write a sentence within an average length of time. My goal is to spend no more than 3 minutes on each question.
Supply List
