There are significant benefits to writing by hand; the better visual students write the better they learn. Regular practice helps young writers develop mastery and gain a level of unconscious competency that allows them to focus on their classroom work.
To honor the Back to School season, I’m giving you one of my most popular products selling on Teachers Pay Teachers for free. All you have to do to get access to these pages is subscribe to this blog.
Drawing is a fun, low key way for your kids to practice their handwriting skills without the pressure that school can sometimes put on them. Watch and learn how fun and easy it is to draw as Bette Fetter, demonstrates how to draw a cute cartoon Bumblebee with simple step by step instruction.
Whether they are beginners or just need to remind their hands how to hold onto a pencil, coloring is a great way for your visual learner to practice using those muscles required for legible handwriting. Young Rembrandts is joining the coloring craze with their own beautifully designed and drawn coloring pages.
Recently, a new Young Rembrandts franchisee told me something awesome about her son’s university… Virginia Tech instituted a rule where all notetaking was to be done by hand. No laptops. No keyboarding of any kind. Just good old paper and pencil. (I assume pens are allowed. Haha.)
This holiday break is a great time to take the Handwriting Challenge. 7 Days to Better Handwriting is a simple and engaging way to help your child get comfortable with handwriting so he can concentrate on the rest of the learning happening in the classroom.
The laid back scheduling of summer can lead to some summer knowledge leaks. Lucky for you we’ve created a new eBook to keep brains active this summer.
To stop brain drain, kids need to keep writing all through the summer. They need to practice their handwriting and creative writing skills. The key is to keep it fun and light.
Kids can lose up to 2 months of what they’ve already learned over the laid back days of summer. Don’t let your child fall behind. We have created an eBook full of fun and free ways to keep the learning alive without sacrificing the freedom that no school allows.
We’ve had a busy year here at bettefetter.com. I’ve gathered a few of our most important posts to refresh you memory about what we’re up to here. There is more to come in the upcoming year.
