Teaching the Alphabet and Handwriting
Welcome to Teaching the Alphabet and Handwriting!
Is knowing the alphabet important any more?
How about handwriting?

Hi, I’m Rosemary. I actually work with migrant adults learning English. Many of my students did not go to school as children and so don’t have literacy even in their first language. My previous work was with adults and children learning English as a second language where my students had age appropriate literacy development in their first language. It is quite a different kettle of fish. I’m looking to improve my understanding of developing first literacy and take away a few new ideas on approaches to try, even though my clients are not young learners.
Hi, my name is Emma. I have taught year 2 for the past 3 years (previously upper school) but am currently homeschooling my 6 year old as we travel around Australia.
