I have used Handwriting Without Tears and other methods including textured paper to support proper technique for handwriting. I encourage students to start at the top of the letter as well as think of the shapes in the letters as balls and bats. Some letters have tails that go under the bottom line.

I have successfully used instruction of word families and blends to build phonemic awareness in developing readers with and without Dyslexia. Games and word activities are fun ways to help students associate consonant and vowel combinations with appropriate spelling. Writing activities reinforce the learning while improving spelling and reading.
