Students need to know words that describe shape, position, and motion. If students do not know this language, it should be taught before proceeding to other steps. Limit the number of shapes presented at one time for students who have great difficulty with this. Teach by showing shapes and naming them. For the remaining steps, the teacher stands on one side of the Window and guides the student on the other side.
Early stages involve the teacher modeling movement with and for the student.
Students must always write or draw left to right. The teacher will be on the other side of the board and, therefore, must write in the opposite direction. Each of these components is equally important. Modeling the movement helps the student who has insufficient motor control learn the motion. Students need to develop their own descriptive language for the motions.
