Occupational therapists are trained to teach the best way for a person to do physical activity in the most efficient way. I know the name of the profession is misleading. The program has wooden forms to teach preschoolers spatial awareness and then uses the same letters to make the letters. The next stage uses small bits of chalk and small wet sponges with a small slate board. The whole progam is laid out to show how to make the letters with the chalk and erase it with the sponge.
Kids love it.
You can take turns with the chalk and sponge. The program shows how using the chalk and sponge work on developing the proper pencil grip. Next you go to the workbooks. I have tried 3 different programs before I bought this. It is the one program that I am completely satisfied with.
