This course will greatly assist a young child, ages 3-5 or maybe older, to correctly write the English letters in a basic Manuscript Handwriting Style. Included with this course are videos for each letter and Letter Writing Directions Worksheets (PDF) that can be downloaded and printed at home or in the classroom as many times as needed.

This course will greatly assist your child to easily learn the correct way to hold a pencil, knowing how to follow directions and learning the terms; up/down, top/bottom, circle left, circle right, dip, slant and other terms needed to follow the video directions.

Have your child pause the videos as needed to fully understand how the letters are formed. Ensure he follows and stays within the top, middle and bottom lines of the line worksheets. However, if your child is just starting out to form and recognize letters, allow him to make the letters as large as he would like. See the CompuRead Teacher’s Manual for detailed instructions about Body Writing.

Body Writing is an outstanding method to teach a young child the letters of the alphabet.

Ensure you also follow the directionality of the letters and do not introduce letters that are not related to each other. Again see the CompuRead Teacher’s Manual for complete details on how to teach letter writing to a young child.
