Handwriting Program

Since we did not finish our discussion on handwriting, I ordered Handwriting Without Tears for next year. I only ordered materials for K-3. I ordered paper for 3rd grade as there was a concern about transferring from writing in the book to regular lined paper. We'll see if this helps. If you come across any good information about handwriting or if you have any thoughts on the subject please post them. Thanks.

    Marcia - I got the OK from Jeff to use the Susan Anthony program at 4th. I'm taking the pages downtown to have them make handwriting booklets for all of 4th grade. This is the same booklet we've been using for the past couple of years - inexpensive, effective.

    I don't know the Susan Anthony program, but I am interested in it. I did a workshop with one of our O.T's in the past on handwriting and all the parts that go in to it ( posture, muscle groups, grip, tone, etc. ) and it might be good to do that again at a staff meeting to go over the important parts of handwriting that connect all grade levels. That way we would all have the same foundation that is based on an O.T's perspective and not just what looks nice...
    Kathleen, since I am at 4th this year, I would love to have some info on that! Thanks. Suzanne
