These materials will make a difference in my students' learning immensely! By receiving the Magnetic White Boards, thin line markers, and erasers, my students will be able to actively practice their cursive daily. Research has shown that cursive is very beneficial for students identified with Dyslexia. It is not only faster, but when writing cursive, the word becomes a unit, rather than a series of separate strokes, and correct spelling is more likely to be retained rather then lost. Dyslexic students struggle immensely with spelling, decoding words and letter reversals. By teaching and writing in cursive, the brain is engaged cognitively in a way that can't be achieved on a keyboard. Every lower case letter in cursive begins on the bottom base line, which makes it difficult for letter reversals to occur. But most importantly, is writing in cursive uses reading and writing which engages different circuits in the brain. This promotes retention and fluency. The materials will allow my students to practice their cursive easily. By creating a writing station complete with Magnetic White Boards, Thin Write and Wipe Markers (which promote correct handwriting positions), Tracing Boards, and sufficient erasers, the students will have everything they need to be a Cursive Master!
