Have you heard of the Draw.Write.Now program? If you haven't you really should head over and check it out! It is a great way to get students practicing their fine motor skills which will help improve their hand writing.. It's fun and engaging, I know my students are going to love using these books. Here's a look at the program...
Eight different books and 168 lessons focus on a variety of topics,including geography, science, history, social studies, and language arts. Each book contains short passages with guides for drawing a picture to go along with the story. They are easy to follow along with and you're sure to find one that interests every child!
The fun facts and interesting questions help you interact with students as they draw! Practicing handwriting no longer means copying boring sentences every morning, start your day out with these and your students will be gaining that fine motor control without realizing how much they are working!
The lessons can be done in small or whole group, or even individually. They are appropriate for students to use on their own with minimal help from an adult.
I plan to use these as lesson starters in the morning, brain breaks, and even as fun center activities! My students are always drawing something, or asking if they can draw when they are suppose to be writing, this is the perfect way to incorporate drawing into their writing and get in a little reading as well!
