Before we get started in Bookville, can I just post this one little gem? M has handwriting issues. Actually, they both have handwriting issues; M has grip issues. Big time. We've been working on this for 3 years now, and I can't break the thumb-wrap-around habit no matter how many weird pencils, triangular grippers, spongy-thingies I bought. Then, thanks to my peeps on the WTM boards, I found
The Writing Claw.
It looks crazy, I know. But I am here to tell you that 2 days with the claw and we're in business. M can hold her pencil without the thumb-wrap on her own now. We'll still use the claw for a while, just to make sure the habit gets cemented in, but I have a feeling we won't have to rely on it for long.
Coming soon... Defining Twilight
Where can I buy the claw on line? I could use with my students! Ciao from Italy. RBK
