Handwriting

We've been working hard on handwriting. We have daily lessons using the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum along with daily exercises to help reinforce proper placement of strokes within the lines. Three phrases we use all the time you might want to use at home are:

• "touch the sky" - letters that touch the top line (ex.- all uppercase letters, all numbers, lowercase b, d, f, h, k, l, t)
• "short" - letters that touch the middle dotted line (ex.- a,c,e,i,m,n,o,r,s,u,v,w,x,z)
• "go underground" - letters that go below the bottom line (ex.- g, j, p, q, y)
