Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Grade 1: Student & Teacher Editions (Homeschool Bundle)

Zaner-Bloser Handwriting is a complete handwriting program that can be taught in as little as 15 minutes a day! The Zaner-Bloser style teaches a vertical manuscript alphabet that is made up of only four simple strokes and is similar to the letter forms most widely used in everyday print. This homeschool bundle includes both the student edition as well as the teacher's edition.

The first grade workbook focuses on reinforcing manuscript handwriting. Colorful and engaging exercises increase legibility through regular self-evaluation and will help students develop fluency and automaticity. Students will trace and write strokes, letters, words, and sentences, along with numbers and basic math problems, with review and application included throughout.

Directional features include:

Letter models with arrows to show stroke sequence Green starting dots that show students where initial strokes begin Stroke descriptions to guide letter formation at home Stop-and-check signs to remind students to self-evaluate their letters Space to practice writing directly beneath models (that both left-and right-handed students can easily see)

The easy-to-use teacher's edition features three-step lessons that follow a simple instructional plan of model, practice, and evaluate. This guide includes:

Clearly stated objectives that guide instruction. Short, clear stroke descriptions that use academic language and give teachers the exact words to use when modeling. Instructions to model using skywriting with large muscle movements that reinforce the motor patterns for forming strokes and letters. References to Practice Masters (not included) that allow the teacher to match additional practice to students' needs. Multiple opportunities to differentiate instruction including ELL, gross & fine motor development activities, and multisensory activities for kinesthetic, auditory, and visual learners.
