You may have heard your child talk about the tools they are using when they write. No, I am not giving your children hammers, nails, and screwdrivers to help them write - they're using tools that help them become a better writer. Students use an alphabet and key sound card to help form their LOWER CASE letters correctly and have recently been introduced to "space man." INQUIRE with your child how space man helps them! What would happen if they forgot their spaces? Writing tools help children become successful INDEPENDENT writers.
