Guest Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 they are sort of poems that you say while forming letters for example for t you coud say "take it from the top, slide it to the ground and flick. And cross it quick!" (from foundations of literacy) AEK

AnonyMouse_2127 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I couldn't read it Smiley - it was a lot of squiggles - no words. Is it just me? Sue J
AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Opened for me ok, thanks. I think the Cambridge "penpals" scheme may have something similar?
AnonyMouse_1469 Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 my feeder scholl is now using cursive and expects us to teach this to our litle ones..................any jingles for that???
Guest Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Thanks SmileyPR - that's a really simple, easy to follow script that will ensure support staff are giving the same instructions. I'm going to stick it on a cupboard door and have a copy with any 'handwriting type' activities. Harricroft
AnonyMouse_2127 Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I still can't read it Smiley - It's just a lot of italic type squiggles. Sue J

AnonyMouse_2127 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Thank you very much Beau - it's great Smiley - thank you Sue J
AnonyMouse_2776 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks Beau! The jingle is not mine. I don't recall where I got it from. It is a pity because I would prefer to give credit to who created it.
