"I just have to tell you, I've been using parts of the program for the last week with most of my students in Occupational Therapy Services.

Janet Amadio, OTR/L

Akron Public Schools

"Earlier this year I wrote to you about a kindergarten teacher who didn't believe kindergarten students were developmentally ready/able to print on lined paper.

"Earlier this year I wrote to you about a kindergarten teacher who didn't believe kindergarten students were developmentally ready/able to print on lined paper. I implemented some of your advice and wanted to share with you what happened. That teacher quite readily agreed to let me start teaching a weekly handwriting lesson with her class. Soon she began to notice handwriting was improving and the students were remembering and using the rules even when I wasn't there. She reported a student was erasing a letter in a word that was otherwise spelled correctly. When she questioned why, he replied "Because it's floating". Hooray!!! My lessons happened to come up in conversation with kindergarten teacher #2 who indicated that she'd like to have me give lessons in her class as well. She also reports carry over into classroom assignments and has become quite the fan. Kindergarten teacher #3 stopped me in the hallway to ask what I was doing in the other classes that they were raving about and could I come to her class too! I participate in a professional learning community with these 3 teachers and an instructional coach. I brought the written language production guide and some of the Size Matters research to my group and gave an overview of each. They all asked for copies and the coach was going to share some of it with other grade levels, particularly the written language production guide. Happily they noticed how Size Matters directly addresses the standards. This school will likely only have 2 kindergarten classes next year, but both have already told me how beneficial the lessons have been and that they would like me to start on the first week in the fall. I thought that was the best compliment of all! I love making a difference with a larger group of kids. Teachers and my principal have really noticed my contributions and value what I have to offer. I also appreciate getting to have eyes on all of the kindergarten students to help identify who might need a referral for further evaluation. Thanks so much for all of your help!"
