At the Spelling Center, students practice their weekly spelling
words. Students can work with a partner to give each other a
spelling test and check it together. They can also play
"Spelling Showdown", or choose a task card to: I type each list
individually in a large, clear font and in a cursive font using
StartWrite Handwriting Worksheet Software 5.0 software.
StartWrite works similar to your word processor software. You
can use cursive or manuscript fonts, print in dotted or shaded
letters, add stroke arrows, print guidelines, and add clip art
images to your practice worksheets. What I like about StartWrite
is the fact that, unlike most word processor cursive fonts,
StartWrite acutally changes the formation of the letters
depending on what letter is before or after it. For instance,
the beginning stroke of letters that come after cursive b, o, or
w are changed to actually connect and look exactly like
realcursive handwriting.
