Raised-lined paper has been especially beneficial in supporting students who struggle with letter size and spacing. The tactile boundaries give students a concrete guide for where letters should begin and end, resulting in improved consistency in letter formation and spacing between letters and words. This has reduced frustration and increased student confidence during writing tasks.\r\n\r\nWrist weights have also played an important role in supporting students with fine motor challenges and tremors. By providing gentle, consistent input, the wrist weights help stabilize hand movements and promote a calmer, more controlled writing process. Students are able to sustain writing for longer periods of time with less fatigue, allowing them to focus more on content rather than the physical effort required to write.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, pencil grips have helped students learn and maintain proper pencil grasp. Improved hand positioning has led to better control, smoother letter formation, and increased endurance during writing activities. Together, these supplies have supported students' fine motor development, increased independence, and created more positive writing experiences across the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762267684904,"projectUrl":"project/scribbles-to-sentences/9794255/","projectTitle":"Scribbles to Sentences","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Keene","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7158120_orig.jpg?crop=1512,1512,x0,y252&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1653491742731","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7158120"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76931","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":588,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.4,"schoolId":76931,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Reed Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Reed Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/springfield-school-district-r12/reed-academy/76931"}
