Synopses & Reviews
A radically different and effective approach to accurate handwriting, this program gently guides the student through the necessary stages of perceptual and fine-motor development towards legibility. The more than 350 exercises -- plus supplemental hands-on activities -- are appropriate for both regular and special education classes. Severely dyspraxic as well as regular students who need help with finger dexterity and perceptual skills will benefit from these amusing, illustrated exercises. Write from the Start lays a firm foundation for accurate handwriting.
