Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Grade K: Student, Teacher, & Practice Masters (Homeschool Bundle -- 2016 Edition)

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 set includes both the student edition and practice masters.

The kindergarten-level workbook focuses on basic manuscript strokes, letters, and numerals. Colorful and engaging exercises begin with simple activities like writing familiar letters and tracing letters and strokes with a finger and pencil. Both upper and lower-case letters are taught along with punctuation marks.

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 Space to practice writing directly beneath models (that both left-and right-handed students can easily see)

The practice masters provide students with additional practice for every letter and skill and offer school-to-home activities/letters to reinforce correct letter formation at home. This set of practice masters also includes manipulative and multisensory learning activities along with additional handwriting support such as reproducibles of the Zaner-Bloser alphabets, award certificates, handwriting basics, and handwriting paper.

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.
