Tips for Teachers
- If a child is just beginning to learn about letters and sounds, do the Warm-Ups and lots of suggested games and activities.
- If a child already knows that letters stand for sounds and is starting to read and write, skip the Warm-Ups and jump right into the program!
- Sound words out together until the child does it independently.
- Always help children sign in to Read, Write & Type!™
- Provide gentle but persistent encouragement to use the right fingers from the beginning
- Provide lots of hugs and praise!
