SMHP IS The Science of Handwriting

 

SMHP aligns with the Science of Reading

The Size Matters Handwriting Program (SMHP) blends structured literacy and the science of reading (SOR) strategies while supporting best practices in handwriting.

Writing by hand stimulates the reading centers in the brain

This is the genesis of memory, creativity, and problem solving.

Reading Needs Handwriting

 

SOR Strategies build awareness of letters, sounds, and words using the SMHP Student Workbook cartoons and stories.

 

SMHP Strategies increase knowledge of the qualities of neat printing; what makes a letter STAR-WORTHY?

 

MOTOR Activities incorporate multisensory fine and gross motor skills to enrich learning skills and promote language.

 

Focus on Size. Form Will Follow

Correcting errors in letter size makes immediate and visible difference in the appearance and readability of the written page.

 

Here are a few more examples.

 

With only 3 letter sizes, children catch on quickly.

Thats why when we say "when it comes to neat printing...SIZE MATTERS!" 

 

The Size Matters Handwriting Program is Evidence- based

With more validating research than any other program, including the largest study ever done on handwriting, change scores using SMHP exceeded a 0.001 level of significance.

 

 

 

In comparison of Effect Size between 9 handwriting programs, SMHP was recognized as best for legibility.
