Guided Practice

My handwriting curriculum model consists of many things that allow for teachers to adequately teach handwriting and for students to benefit from the curriculum. All of these things are overlapping because you must have each of these to correctly implement handwriting. Direct instruction and modeling is the “I DO” portion of the lesson, while guided practice is the “WE DO” portion of the lesson. The individual practice is the “YOU DO” portion of the lesson and phonics instruction is applied throughout the lesson when we discuss each individual letter, the letter sound, and sounding out words that we learn to write. The program that I will be implementing in my classroom is Frog Street Press and comes with letter songs that we will also sing to reinforce the letter, the letter sound, and words that begin with the letter we are learning about/ writing about. These songs keep students engaged throughout the handwriting lesson. My handwriting curriculum must have all of these components in order to be successful and meaningful for everyone.
