How do the Powerful Printing and Conquering Cursive software programs provide motor pattern instruction?
A Within each of the print and cursive digital workbooks, letters are grouped based on the initial pencil stroke. This way, students are not required to memorize 52 print letter patterns and 52 cursive letter patterns in a disconnected and disorderly manner. They build skill using just 5 lower case print patterns, 5 capital letter print patterns, 7 lower case cursive patterns and 7 capital letter cursive patterns. The software demo (available through the website or on CD-ROM by request) shows how visual, auditory, written and kinesthetic cues are used to provide visual and sequential pattern instruction.
