Description
Mat Man is a character created by Handwriting Without Tears to teach the lines and curves used in letter formation. This set of four hardcover readers each have a different theme: Shapes, Opposites, On the Go, and Hats (relates to jobs). The charming stories are perfect for reading aloud as the words have a rhythm. A poster shows all of the lines/curves that make up Mat Man and its' fun to spot these familiar lines in the stories. The illustrations have a charming watercolor look. I like the larger format; it would be nice when reading to a group of students or just one child. ~Sara
