Mistakes become opportunities to learn rather than moments of frustration, helping students feel proud of their progress. This consistent practice strengthens letter recognition, improves pencil grip, and enhances the fluidity and neatness of handwriting over time.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the boards support small-group instruction and individualized learning.
