Write-On Handwriting's Powerful Printing Digital Workbook software is a student-guided computer program that brings multiple senses to the task of learning to print. Using a computer mouse, students learn the proper spatial orientation and sequential movements of letter formation, helping them to build the motor memory needed to reproduce letters with a pencil. In step 1, students see and hear the formation instructions as they watch the letter written with a 'pencil'. In step 2, the letter is again written in one, fluid motion. The letter-writing pattern is reinforced in step 3 by the sequential overlay of arrows on the letter. In step 4, students use a mouse or stylus to write the letter by following the arrows in the proper sequence. Students are then challenged: as they continue to write the letter correctly, the arrows fade. Students cannot write the letters incorrectly-they are redirected with an 'Oops!' message and instructed to 'try again' or 'choose a button' to review the letter pattern. When students succeed in writing the letter correctly, they are rewarded with applause and may move on to the next letter. This step-by-step strategy for teaching handwriting complements the exercises contained in the companion Powerful Printing Paper Workbook. Handwriting really can be fun!
