When trying to learn to write brought her little boy to tears, Jan Olsen found a remedy. She shares her creative suggestions and learning tips in this excellent "how-to" book which helps you determine if your child is ready to start handwriting. If not, no problem-there are plenty of hands-on readiness activities such as using "letter manipulatives" (pattern and instructions provided).
This program includes unique ideas for helping children learn to write their letters and numbers without frustration, tips for the left-handed child, discussion on why it is important to teach capitals first and why standard handwriting paper just confuses children. The author even has remedies for the common mistakes children make, such as letter reversals, floating letters, etc.

fantastic for handwriting training,

This review is from: My Printing Book (Paperback)
I purchased this for my homeschooled 6 year old. He is a fluent reader but needs handwriting practice. He likes it very much, he enjoys the big pages and carefully reads the instructions on how to trace the letters. This is a book that does not provide for extensive practice, but for quality practice. It helps children focus on quality rather than quantity, giving them detailed and age appropiate instructions on how to handwrite letters. Terms like 'magic c' or 'frog jump capitals' are very appropiate for young children and help them remember the right way to trace letters.

This review is from: My Printing Book (Paperback)
My 5 y/o daughter's occupational therapist is using this series (in conjunction with First Strokes techniques) to teach my child to write. I bought a duplicate set for additional practice at home. My daughter really benefits from having a defined writing area (grey box) and a starting dot to know where to begin each letter.
I wish there were more spaces for practicing, either two pages per letter or some additional blank worksheets in the back that I could copy and use repeatedly. Those who are already struggling with fine motor skills and letter forming really need to practice more than 10-12 times to get it right. I would recommend to a friend.
