Even children who don't know any letters or have perceptual-motor difficulties enjoy working with wood pieces and improve their skills. They are made of sanded Baltic birch. I use the slate as the next step in printing readiness. This is fun and using the small chalk and sponge builds the pincer grasp for correct pencil grip. This student workbook is used with the Capital Letter Wood Pieces and Slate Chalkboard.
Children learn correct letter and number formation from the teacher s demonstration.
This book features double lines, which make it easy for children to place letters correctly. Also, it teaches letters in a special order that develops consistent habits and builds on skills already learned. As new letters are added to the growing repertoire, they are used in simple words and sentences to assure continuous review. The book also includes instructions for numbers. This book uses smaller-size printing and longer sentences.
