P.O. Box Box 117, Aberdeen, MD 21001-0117 USA (e-mail - swansbury@erols.com) This handwriting-teacher's book/CD-ROM "Fluent Handwriting" was released July 1997, and is available from Amazon.com's online bookstore or from her site at http://www.BFHhandwriting.com - the method described in "Fluent Handwriting" was developed over a period of more than 20 years of experience in elementary school classrooms. The opportunity to observe the motor skills of young children enabled her to formulate methods that allow children to acquire the ability to write at the maximum speed with maximum legibility. If children learn to write with the most efficient movement possible for the human hand, little classroom time need be devoted to penmanship in years when so many other activities demand attention. Handwriting can be individual, and a joy! Dr. June E. Baskin, Ph.D.

Handwriting Help For Kids: Information, Advice And Worksheets. STORIES use a creative story with cartoon characters to teach proper letter Fillin the Blank pages and rhyming writing activities keep handwriting fun! http://www.handwritinghelpforkids.com/book2.html
Extractions: "LETTER STORIES" use a creative story with cartoon characters to teach proper letter formation for all upper and lower case letters. To learn a new letter, children trace a large letter model with different crayon colors to make a "RAINBOW LETTER"! This establishes the correct " FEEL " for correct letter formation from the start! Then kids try the letter "On Their Own". "LETTER STORIES" review proper letter formation for all upper and lower case letters. Kids are reminded to start upper case letters at the top by placing their pencil on the "STARTING STAR". As children review and master letters, words and sentences are practiced. Motivating writing activities such as "Fill in the Blank" pages and rhyming writing activities keep handwriting fun! Numbers are reviewed and strategies for reversals are provided.

The PDF files available here are provided in the interest of improving and supporting the instruction of skills needed for the fluent use of written language. One of the most important items is the Scope and Sequence. A wealth of scientific research is indicating surprising new importance for the physical learning experiences associated with development of fluent handwriting skills. Indications of powerful impact on all learning are showing up again and again in study after study. If you have not yet looked at it, I hope that you will do so as soon as possible.

Extractions: Do you ever wonder why so many intermediate grade students revert to printwriting? Or, why your best students are so frustrated by written assignments? The answer is found in new research on fluent movement. Virtually anyone can write fluently. However, when legibility is a requirement, things change dramatically. A little experience in an intermediate classroom will provide a teacher with ample evidence that far too many of our students need far too much time to write neatly. If students could write fluently, and produce legible work in the process, it would be much easier to accomplish the objectives found in the written curriculum. But in our classrooms, it usually comes down to choices. If you want to read student work easily, you must choose between teaching time and working time. Give students enough time to produce legible work and you find that there is not enough time to teach everything. Experienced teachers have found that time spent on practice activities in handwriting workbooks makes little difference. The question is, "Can I really do anything to help pupils develop the skill needed for fluent legibility?" The answer is YES! Many scientific studies offer information regarding the learning of and application of movement. While there is much to be learned, current studies provide us with potent information which directly applies to classroom teaching methods.

Extractions: For updates on new titles in: A Training Course for Teachers In stock Teach English is a complete course for teachers of English as a foreign language. It is especially designed to meet the needs of teachers whose first language is not English, who teach large classes with few resources, follow a set syllabus and textbook, and have limited time for lesson planning. The book is ideal for use on pre-service, in-house and refresher courses for teachers working at secondary level in schools or language institutions. This is excellent and long overdue material for those about to start training teachers for the first time. Its also a rich source of practical ideas for practising teachers who could use the course as a self-administered refresher. Stephen Keeler, Practical English Teacher The self-reflection component is an important feature of the coursebook showing that despite the very practical classroom-based training element of the course, the author is, as well, concerned with the teachers on-going professional development.

Submitted by Mrs. Lee, 50 States and their capitals - This is a good site for learning about the different states. Math: To keep up with notes and excuses that students bring I purchased a large portable file folder box. I put hanging folders in the box(1per student). I then put one pocket folder (these work best so notes don't fall out) inside each hanging folder. I put each student's name on one of the tabs of the hanging folder. As student bring excuses or signed discipline forms they are put in that child's folder. When questions come up about a child's absences or their behavior, I just pull out their folder and have information available without having to search. Submitted by Mrs. Angela Crocker
