Writing Warriors
The Writing Warriors class improves handwriting legibility by identifying which handwriting errors are commonly used and correcting these errors using a variety of methods such as gross motor movement, sensory-motor activities, and creative art to apply what was learned during that day’s lesson. Areas of focus for this class include letter alignment, letter, and word spacing, and identifying one’s own errors in writing to promote legibility
