¡Mejora tu cursiva en un campo de entrenamiento! Clase privada individual

This class is for students who know the basics of cursive, and want to increase their memory, writing speed, and confidence!

After each class, I'll make a post in the Outschool "Classroom" that gives students and parents a summary of what we did that day, what's up next, and suggested but not mandatory homework.  At the beginning of every class, I ask students to show me any homework or independent practice they did so I can correct it right away.  It's not necessary to complete the homework, but if you're after fast progress, it is a good idea to do it. 

Here's an outline of what to expect, but this can change!  I customize each of these private classes to suit each student's needs, so you may have a different experience from this:

Day 1: Top Goals

-I'll ask you about your top priorities with cursive
-We'll also identify which parts of cursive are the most challenging!
-We'll assess your writing together

Day 2: Rules To Remember
-If there are rules in cursive that you don't know about, this is when I'll show you what they are and how they work
-We'll write the trickiest parts of cursive together
-When there's something you can do without my help, I'll give you a chance

Day 3: Self-Checking 101

-I'll point out the more common mistakes so you'll know how to spot them, avoid them, and correct them yourself
-Before you show me what you've written, I'll give you a chance to make any corrections 
-I'll try to get to know what you enjoy writing about, and give you homework you hopefully enjoy

Day 4: Tips And Tricks

-We'll re-assess the tricky parts of cursive and see if they're as difficult as they were previously
-I'll give you memory tricks to help you remember the tricky parts
-If my memory tricks don't work for you, we'll create a fun story that helps you remember!

Day 5: Pre-Weekend Check-In

-We'll check in with each other and see how the class, and your cursive, is going
-We can talk about the goal you had in the first class, and if you've surpassed it, or want a new goal, we'll make a change
-If you'd like extra activities to practice over the weekend, I'll outline some new challenges you can do 

Weekend Break!

Day 6: Fresh Start!

-If you completed a lot of homework over the weekend, we'll both take a look and correct anything we need to
-After corrections, we'll rewrite tricky parts properly and mark them with a heart symbol or check mark to give you a fast reference
-I'll give you some options of challenges you can pick from

Day 7: Practice, Practice

-We'll play some more games and I'll give you some optional challenges
-These challenges will focus on your weak points without being overwhelming
-When you make a mistake, I'll ask you to circle it, and rewrite it correctly, then mark it with a heart symbol or check mark for quick reference

Day 8: Ultimate Challenges

-I'll give you more difficult versions of cursive challenges you've already been doing
