Description

This is the first INTEGRATED handwriting program that totally integrates therapeutic intervention into the classroom.  A therapist can provide a quick training session to teachers and the teacher can then totally integrate the cursive program into the classroom for students who struggle (or for the entire classroom!).  Throughout the comprehensive workbook there are step by step instructions for how to integrate this program into busy classrooms without spending large amounts of classroom time on handwriting intervention.  By using easy to integrate multi-sensory strategies, even students who struggle with handwriting should be able to master the First Strokes® cursive program.

The First Strokes Cursive Kit includes:

  1. Comprehensive Cursive Workbook – 100 pages!

    • Section for teachers and parents on “How to Use Workbook”.  This section INCLUDES how to integrate multi-sensory strategies into the classroom

    • Lower Case Instruction and Practice Pages – based on the “First Stroke”, students are provided cognitive cues for letter formation.  Letters are grouped within their “First Stroke: category.  Each letter page contains information on Handwriting Errors, so that the students learn legibility tips.

    • All lower case instruction for each letter includes cueing to “touch and trace” the writing line before bridging to the next letter.  This is a significant remedial handwriting strategy that helps students increase legibility of handwriting and spacing between letters.
