These guides are more than stencils. Made of clear, unbreakable plastic, these templates are designed to train and develop perceptual skills at reading and handwriting levels. As a series of scholastic teaching aids designed for beginning handwriting instruction, they mechanically guide the properly angled pencil through each letter configuration. By forcing the hand to lift where normal lift occurs in the handwriting sequence, they allow the learner to correctly form the contour of each shape, build fine-motor control, coordinate hand and eye movement, and develop standard stroke patterns. |
