Teaching Tip: Cursive
By: Chris Byron, Teacher
“When reinforcing cursive, I now worry less about quantity and more on quality. To focus on this, I incorporate music by teaching them capoeira songs. They write the chorus and we sing it at the end of the mini lesson. Writing in a language that is unfamiliar means they concentrate on the letter shapes a bit more. The singing at the end is a plus. We've also built up a list of songs we could do if there is a need to refocus the class during transitions or if we're asked for quick assembly performance.“
