LDS Mom- have you seen these?
http://tvteachervideos.com/ They're very good! Very expensive
but my biggest regret was not buying them SOONER. Lily's interest in handwriting was there but not the technique since she was just starting out.
I
Miss Marnie. I didn't do outside much of occasionally reinforcing the lessons, more so in the beginning. Lily now forms 8's correctly which totally shocked me when I first saw it, but it was all Miss Marnie. Her program
really works! A friend of mine says of all their educational DVD's, Miss Marnie is her kids' favorite. They sit down with dry erase markers and practice for fun.
What if my child is left-handed?
We have had many left-handed children use our program, all reporting great success. Letter formations should be made the same way regardless of which hand is used. Although “Miss Marnie” demonstrates writing with her right hand, the auditory chants we use (and those that will be recalled by each user), are entirely ambidextrous. Example chant of lowercase b: “long line down, bring it up and around, b.” As with all our users, we encourage parents and teachers to help guide the child with a hand-over-hand grasp to help the child formulate each letter until they feel comfortable attempting to write on their own.
