Review guidelines include but are not limited to the following She's an avid reader & very intelligent - so I'm not sure why we have an issue with backwards letters & numbers. Maybe it would continue to help her process the letters & numbers individually. I have a 3 yr old - so I could start using the magnets with her - might just need to invest in those. She does many numbers and some letters backwards. I just don't want to constantly be on her for neat handwriting - there are so many other more important things to encourage her to do. If I am constantly on her about neat writing she will do it - so I know she can. We saw them at the NCHE conference and my daughter loved playing with all of the hands-on things available - magnets, chalk board, sponges - so I might just have to invest in some of these other things to help her think as she is writing. I think I will have to use some of the other tools they have. My daughter did it but wasn't thrilled about it - although it did improve her handwriting quite a bit. We used the workbook this year as we saw a friend use it with good results.

Though I have purchase extra paper and loaded up binders, if i print out a notebook page or activity sheet online typically the writing has the standard 3 lines (one dotted in the middle) and she struggles with her letter formation a little. My dd has struggled with writing in notebooks trying to figure out which lines to use. The cons are that any workbooks, printable worksheet or other thing available online typically does not have the HWOT lines and therefore can be challenging. The lessons are quick, it is easy to teach, and my daughter has done well with it. We are to be starting cursive soon and, though the cursive looks a little funny to me, I think we will stick with it because we have had good success. We art just finishing 2nd grade and it has been good.

The Rock Tap and Learn CD is fun and the kids love it. We started using HWOT for 1st grade during our Kindergarten year since my dd was already ahead on handwriting from her PreK years.
