This is excellent value for those children with messy, slow handwriting!
The Fine Motor Kits work specifically on improving in-hand manipulation skills. These are the skills that require the small muscles of the hand to perform finely tuned movements such as those necessary to produce neat, legible handwriting.
In addition,
The Magic Beak Program focuses on a slightly different aspect of handwriting. This involves the ability to hold the pen/ pencil correctly and to maintain that good pencil control. Without well established pencil control, a child finds it very difficult produce legible handwriting and is likely to find the process of handwriting tiring, as he/she may not be holding the pen/ pencil in a well controlled, relaxed manner.
Lastly,
The Magic Caterpillar Handwriting Program focuses on correct letter formation so as to produce fluid, automatic writing skills – best of all, using this program will avoid all letter reversals!
Combo E includes the delightful story of Casey the Caterpillar in the Big book version – the large illustrations make it a perfect resource for teachers and educators working in small groups of children. This is a complimentary book for
The Magic Caterpillar Handwriting program.
Combo E is different from
Combo A in that
Combo E includes fun and motivating reward charts that the child completes as he/ she progresses through the stages of the various programs. This provides the child with a concrete “end goal” which is visible and therefore highly motivating.
