Two explicit handwriting lessons will occur weekly with a focus on size, shape and slope of all letters of the alphabet. The first lesson
will introduce the letter or directional focus and have an accompanying fluency pattern. Words beginning with or containing that letter
and/or an alliteration sentence will follow the pattern to reinforce to technique and skill required. During the first lesson, focus should be
on both lowercase and capital letters - suggested a series of each case, followed by a series of the two together. The second lesson will
be a revision of the focus letter or direction through the use of the textbook.
