Handwriting Without Tears – The program that we will be using is Handwriting Without Tears, which was created by Jan Olsen, an Occupational Therapist who specializes in handwriting. The students will be developing their fine motor skills and learning proper handwriting habits to write neatly and fluently.
Kidwriting – Kidwriting is part of our daily routine during which time we focus on developmentally appropriate writing and spelling skills with attention to each child’s individual needs.
