LetterMan Program: Print to Cursive

By Stephanie M Gordon

LetterMan Program: Print to Cursive builds on the LetterMan Program - PreWriting Instruction based on the 4 Stroke Principle and continues into how to master the transition from print to cursive. This book guides parents/teachers in how to help students begin writing with a pencil, mastering lowercase print letters and then transitioning into learning uppercase print and then cursive letter forms. The integration of the three modalities of learning - kinesthetic/motor, visual, and auditory - through four basic strokes and narrative continues and is reinforced. Years in development working with dyslexic and dysgraphic students, this Program has proven effective for anyone who has difficulty remembering the letter forms and then taking them into writing.

She has developed a simple process to language learning that can be used by parents and teachers to help children who are struggling with language development to succeed. The LetterMan is a fun connection to forming the letters. Simple introduction to writing lower case letters, upper case letters, cursive, and numbers.

"Stephanie Gordon has done a wonderful job of providing a comprehensive resource for handwriting instruction. The multi-modal approach brings together visual, motor, and auditory aspects for a full learning experience. The program is cumulative, building upon itself systematically as it guides the parent/teacher in supporting the student in learning print and then making connections between print and cursive."

The Reading Comprehension Blueprint: Helping Students Make Meaning of Text

"For several years, Stephanie Gordon's LetterMan program has guided letter-writing development and assisted students struggling with lowercase letter formation and print text. Her 4 Stroke Principal integrates several learning modalities to bring success to young children who are first learning to write their letters as well as to older individuals who require a more systematic approach to handwriting. Her straightforward program builds on itself, starting with simple letters and building from there. This cumulative teaching allows individuals to feel success quickly."

"What I like most about LetterMan Program: Print to Cursive is Stephanie Gordon's direct, no nonsense, yet gentle approach to teaching letter formations. Special kudos for using language itself to teach letter formations, as well as tracing the letter formations on children's backs to help them internalize the alphabet using the kinesthetic sense of touch. Stephanie brings decades of successful experience to this most important task at hand "

Calling All Neurons : How Reading and Spelling Happen

"Stephanie Gordon does a masterful job teaching students cursive writing in "Letterman Program: Print to Cursive." As a student of Mrs. Gordon's, my daughter became a more confident writer as she learned cursive using The Letterman Program. I would highly recommend this book to any parent whose child is struggling to learn to write or whose school no longer teaches cursive."
- Gina Gibson

"As a former student of Mrs. Gordon, I cannot express how integral her system has been to my success as a student. Her lessons serve as the foundation I rely on each day throughout my educational journey."
