Rainbow Tree uses a holistic sensory and brain based approach to teaching handwriting. Children will participate in activities which support foundational skills of handwriting along with formal instruction of letter formation. This formal instruction will include use of a handwriting workbook to practice pencil to paper writing of letters. This will be a fun and hands-on approach to learning letters! We will use natural materials from nature to support the learning. Your child may write letters in the sand box, in the mud or clay, build letters with brick, use stick to make letters and so on. Unfortunately, because of increased academic demands in the school setting, handwriting skills are often not a focus. Research shows that skilled handwriting improves skills in all areas of academics.
** It will be important that your child be able to identify letters of the alphabet.
VIRTUAL DESCRIPTION:
You will be provided 26 videos - with one UPPER case letter for each video. Your child will discover with Ms. Lisa something in nature that starts with the letters! The materials needed include: Sticks, rocks, and either sand, dried rice or dirt placed in a container. Optional: Paper/Pencil for practice after.
Here is an example of a PARTIAL video!
