As an Occupational Therapist, I know all too well about supporting children
in unlearning ineffective handwriting habits. Preventing
detrimental habits that have a strong negative impact on
lifelong writing fluency is what I am all about. I am passionate about
bringing fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate tools to
teachers, parents, and therapists.

These recent productsI developed are for preschool and
beginning kindergarten children. They are loads of fun
and target essential fine motor and perceptual skills.
This First one “I CAN
MAKE MY NAME” is all about giving kids 5 and under an easy
and accessible way to construct their names with lines and
curves.

Children then make their own nine page

found this skill to be essential for children to

At the beginning of the year teachers
may want a name and picture book to be in their class library. This

I have just learned how to publish
editable documents and so now I am able to offer them to you!

prefer.

Children understand greater
understanding of letters and hold greater quantities in their heads when they
can count the big and little lines in others names. On the
sheet pictured here, you may handwrite names but if you prefer open up the
included PowerPoint file and add your students names using your preferred font.
I personally like a few
handwriting fonts that are free for personal use.
