  • Instruction is flexible
  • Crayons are used
  • Develops foundational skills:
  • Size, shape, position awareness, crayon grip, language, social behaviour, imitation, attention, stop/start abilities, movement
  • Limited visual memory of letters/numbers – visual cues required
  • Hands-on manipulatives are used for instruction
  • Movements on paper are large
  • Focus is aim, colouring, strokes, tracing

Why Does HWT Teach Capital Letters First?

It just makes sense! Some letters are more difficult (developmentally speaking) than others. Capital letters are much easier to form than lower case letters, and here are some of the reasons:

  • All capital letters are the same height.
  • All capital letters start at the same place - the top.
  • All capital letters occupy the same vertical space.
  • All capital letters are easy to recognize and identify.

Consider the lower case letters b d g p q. They all look very similar; they all start at different places; some go above the line, some go below the line; they are easily reversed. Now, consider the same letters as capital letters - B D G P Q. They all start at the top! They have very distinct formations, with no two letters being easily confused.
