Alphie puts the FUN in fundamental

handwriting.

The most effective way to teach letter formation is to provide clear and explicit instruction for each letter. It sounds boring, but it doesn’t have to be! Alphie takes you and your students on an adventure to learn how to write letters from a - z, and it’s as easy as 1-2-3! See how we use the power of stories and a game of hide-and-seek to teach handwriting! Your first 3 stories are on us!

MEET THE author

Hey, I'm Carlie!

I'm an educator and a mom. I used to come up with the silliest stories for my students when they were struggling with their handwriting. I had a student that wasn't sure where the letters went on the line of his looseleaf paper. So, I made up a quick story about a sky line, a grass line, and some rocks, and gave him a concrete way to write his letters on the lines properly. The stories were so effective that I decided to share with other teachers.
