Word Study 1

Alice Nine teaches spelling by enabling students to develop strong encoding (sounding out words to spell/write) and decoding (sounding out words to read) skills simultaneously.

Cursive Handwriting

Students learn and practice the formation of individual cursive letters–both lower case and capitals–by overlaying them on manuscript. They learn how to connect letters by overlaying cursive on phonograms. They practice cursive connections and flow with words and sentences.
