C Pirate Letters: Handwriting Storybook Lowercase Letter Formation
Synopsis
Treasure-seeking pirates are continuing their new adventure. That leads them to start learning the valuable skill of handwriting, by tracing objects in the sand. This is the second group of letters that they learn: c, a, g, d, q, o, s, e. In this storybook the pirates know that they can not spell words without the vowel letters. Lucky, a helpful bird is close by to mimic the vowel sounds and draw attention to vowel letters. The vowels: a, o, & e, share the ‘c’ shape curve in this story. The illustrations in the story are used to show children the similar shapes and motions for this group of letters. This is a great companion book for the popular Orton-Gillingham style of handwriting. The lowercase letters are grouped to help improve muscle memory, picture a sensory experience to stimulate the brain for learning, and avoid common letter reversal errors. In a storybook style, the letters are grouped by similar starting points and curved strokes to speed up the handwriting process and improve letter print recognition for reading. Presented with a fun and memorable story to engage the interests of young students. This is a wonderfully useful resource to use with Montessori style sand trays. This is part of a 4 book series for lowercase letters.
