What is the goal?Comprehension is the ultimate goalComprehension is a complex skill that it involves many sub-skills. Comprehension is influenced by:
5 Areas of Reading
Phonological AwarenessPhonological awareness is an awareness that sentences are made up of words, that words can be pulled apart into syllables, and that syllables we made up of separate speech sounds or phonemes.
Syllable Types
Letter Formation
Sky Writing
Why Handwriting?
• Handwriting and spelling difficulties in later grades affect the composition quality and amount that children are willing to write.
• Both skills are directly taught and reinforced so that students get a foundation for writing.
• Handwriting is closely linked to sound-symbol knowledge.
• All skills are taught using kinesthetic and tactile memory.
• Students systematically learn punctuation, capitalization, and proofreading skills.
