    HANDWRITING 1

    Meaning Clusters


    Poor handwriting
    limits opportunity.

    Many children
    try very hard
    to meet their parent’s
    expectations.

    It's usually not enough.

    Some students
    take several hours
    to write their homework.
    --------------------

    REASONS FOR POOR HANDWRITING

    a negative response
    to constructive criticism
    in toddler and preschool years

    Remarks such as
    "Color between the lines"
    discourage some children.

    Children also
    have poor handwriting
    because of:

    limited practice

    competing activities

    television and computer games

    Lack of success
    causes avoidance.

    Competing verbal time
    limits practice.

    ----------------

     

    All our students
    show major improvements
    in their handwriting skills.

    Handwriting is taught
    in high speed practices.

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    The voice and highlighter
    pace the material
    at average rates of speech.

    175 to 200

    words per minute

    10,000 to 12,000

    words per hour

    It works faster than
    attempting to phonetically
    sound out words.

    Normal speaking rates
    increase phrase recognition.


    They assist correct
    memory storage.

    The phrases sound like
    familiar speech patterns.
    ---------------------------

    EASIER EYE TRACKING

    The highlighter
    helps the eye learn 
    left to right movements.

    It learns
    where to look
    on the page.

    REPETITIONS

    Print repetitions
    of meaning phrases
    help clarify and correct
    errors connecting
    the appearance and sound
    of the text.

    Memory experts
    emphasize the value
    of repetitions
    in creating memories.
