This book presents an innovative approach for kids to form an elegant handwriting style subconsciously. With this book, kids read the famous story "How Toys Become Real" and, meanwhile, trace the story word by word. The sequential finger movements activate neural activities involving thinking, language, and memory. Their attention is on the story characters, like the rabbit, skin horse and fairy during practice. Subconsciously, the signals of fine motor movements in the hand pass from fingertips into brain. Gradually, a neat and elegant handwriting style forms.
Forming a neat and elegant handwriting style is not the ultimate goal of this book. It is actually a byproduct of beginning writing practice. When kids are asked to, "trace the words like you are writing a story," it leads to a sense of writing a story; a fun and creative activity. It is well known that handwriting practice will improve idea composition and expression. This book enhances this educational approach and will get kids started on writing at early age.
Recent studies have shown that children write more words, faster, and express more ideas when writing essays by hand, versus with a keyboard. This book provides a tool for kids who would like and stay ahead of the competition curve.
