Cursive
By Cheryl

I use a program called "Loops" (I recieved it from our school Occupational Therapist). The letters are divided into sections. The first one is called "clock climbers". These letters all basically start the same way (like tracing around a clock).....a, d, g, c, q. Next are "kite strings".....i, u, y (this is all I have done so far so I don't remember the rest). When I began teaching handwriting we discussed the basic parts of the different lines. I referred to it as a house. The writing line is called the main floor. Then you have the upstairs and basement. I only teach one letter a day...then they practice it (2 rows). Once we learn all the letters I will give them words. Hopefully in June we can copy some poetry.
