This volume’s goal is to solidify students’ printing skills. Instruction starts with a brief review of capital letters, and then 41 pages overview lowercase letters in developmental order. Every few lessons, a couple additional pages give students an opportunity to gain confidence in their printing skills. Fluency is then built in context with writing themes: from homophones to question and answer to vowels and syllables to introducing paragraphs and friendly letters. Step-by-step directions guide you through the student’s lessons with blue lettering identifying your instructor’s script; icons identify unique tasks like reading, writing, and tech connections. Note: digital tools identified with a laptop/tablet icon are not available with this product’s purchase. Additional teacher resources include directions for multisensory activities, pencil skills, hand activities, step-by-step formation of letters, remediation tips, and a glossary. 158 pgs, sc. ~ Ruth
