FairProspects Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 DS and I like the "house" concept for teaching letter formation, but which programs or workbooks use it? I'm getting tired of making my own worksheets and would like to cut down on prep time by having something already done for additional practice. We tried HWOT and the 2-line thing did not work for us. Which programs that you like use house paper? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinsfamily Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If this is what you mean, then Abeka does. :) (Click sample to see) If that's what it is, I just drew a house on our 3-lined paper to teach my ds letter formation. It really clicked with him. I don't draw the house anymore, but I do use attic/basement terminology when he needs reminding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
