"We highly recommend StartWrite! It is a well-designed tool for creating custom practice papers." It is not hard to show children how to form letters. The challenge comes with motivating them to practice carefully. Create practice sheets on topics that relate to children's lives and interests -- the child's name, a field trip to the zoo, or one of their drawings. Combine handwriting practice with the memorization of a weekly quote or verse. Add images to the practice papers. The program comes with nice clip art, or you can add your own art -- .jpg images are easy to import. StartWrite CDs are formatted for Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista, MAC OS Classic & OS X "I use StartWrite when I give Draw Write Now lessons. I'm currently teaching a multi-age homeschool group (ages 5 to 10) and create practice sheets before class. The features of the program allow me to focus on each child's needs in the following ways: 1.) The youngest children learn to write their name and simple words, while older children practice writing short paragraphs, 2.) Children who use the Italic handwriting style get a paper in Italic Cursive, while children who use D'Nealian have their own papers printed in D'Nealian, 3.) Children with developing fine-motor skills get papers with sentences to trace, while children who are moving from printing to cursive are given papers with directional arrows. StartWrite gives me the freedom to 'float' around the room and work with each child." -- Kim Stitzer, coauthor, Draw Write Now "Some of the children who come to me write with ease, but make one or two letters incorrectly. With StartWrite I can create a paper that focuses on the letters they are making incorrectly. If a child is having problems making the letter 'd', I print out a paper with sentences that include phrases like 'a good dog', so that the child gets practice with the letter family of a, g, and d." -- Kim Stitzer, coauthor, Draw Write Now
