The Big 5 of Kindergarten Literacy

1. Phonological awareness (strong predictor of
   future reading success)
2. Alphabetic principle-ability to associate sounds
   with letters and use these sounds to form words.
3. Oral language
4. Early reading behaviors check the picture, look
   at the beginning letters, and get mouth ready,
   say a word that starts with the correct sound and
   makes sense
5. Writing

Handwriting Without Tears

•  
• Handwriting Without Tears is a developmentally-bas
  ed method of teaching that makes handwriting easy
  to teach.
• Jan Olsen, an occupational therapist, developed
  this program for children struggling with the
  formation of letters.
• The purpose of this program is to make
  handwriting available to all children as an
  automatic, natural skill.
• Children who write well and easily do better in
  school, enjoy their classes more and feel proud
  of themselves.
• This comprehensive, easy-to-use curriculum
  appeals to administrators, teachers and parents.
• The Handwriting Without Tears curriculum is
  suited to all children.  It uses a fun, hands-on
  approach to develop good skills and teach correct
  letter formation.
