Designed to be used with the Handwriting Without Tears program, this double-sided slate measures 17" x 10". Two lines (which are 2.5" apart) run parallel across the slate, and you can use chalk to give examples or practice handwriting over and over again. The same line configuration is present on both sides of the slate. Durable and reusable, this is a great handwriting teaching tool. Chalk not included.
Lessons start with the simplest form—capital letters
first—grouped together by how they are formed. This volume contains 36 pages
focused on capitals. Then, students move to learning lower case. By year’s end,
students are tracing an individual letter (both in upper and lower case) in provided
sentences. The strongly recommended Teacher Book guides parents in using
the unique methodology and provides step-by-step lessons, along with reading and
writing connections. The easily identifiable teaching directions are scripted. Using
the Teacher Book along with the student text and manipulatives is strongly recommended.
Using the student consumable, students will learn proper hand grip and letter
formation. The necessary manipulatives include the Letters to Words Blackboard
Set;13 wood pieces with mat; the blackboard with double lines; slate chalkboard
with chalk bits; little sponge cubes; the pencil for little hands; and teaching
songs (available for free on YouTube®). Other manipulative options such as the Magic C Bunny Puppet are also available. You can add these options in, depending
on your student’s need.

My son has dysgraphia, and I think having various "lined" writing tools will help to improve his print/cursive. He's a 6th grader, but his print is barely legible still despite years of print/cursive practice.

Is this chalkboard magnetic? I'm looking for a chalkboard that I can put magnetic pieces on to make forming letters more fun.
