Description

Universal Handwriting first grade does an impressive job of practicing upper- and lower-case letters on a ½-inch line with dotted center, which is slightly smaller than the last book as the student's fine motor skills start to become more refined and they are ready to put letters and words together. As the book progresses, there are lessons with creative writing instead of tracing or copying. I like that there are check boxes at the bottom of the pages for letter form, line quality, letter spacing, letter size, and word spacing for the student to self-evaluate. ~Judy

    Category Description for Universal Handwriting (2022 Edition)

    Expanded, revised, and updated, this effective handwriting series continues to get better. Full-color student worktexts offer fun illustrations, colorful instruction boxes, and writing lines with a red baseline and light blue dotted midline in the early grades. Parents will appreciate the "how to use" information that is now included that makes the course more user-friendly. The helpful teacher edition provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for every lesson, reduced student pages and teaching tips – including common problems and corrective techniques. At most levels, the updates are primarily in the words/sentences used, and images. The teaching methodology and sequence is the same except for Writing Readiness. Notable changes impact the books at the PK and K levels. Writing Readiness now focuses on the needs of early childhood and include foundational skill building exercises, and coloring/writing letters with a focus only on upper case letters. Basic Strokes and Letters targets PK skills and covers basic strokes through upper- and lower-case letters. Pretests have been added to Beginning Manuscript and Reinforcing Manuscript.
