Reading and Language Intervention

Great News!  It will be available in the U.S. sometime soon!

Being a Special Education Pre-K & K teacher in the past, I highly recommend a curriculum called Handwriting Without Tears.  It was used primarily for special needs students.  Now, regular education students are using it too!  It is an OT's best friend.  If you are new to therapies, OT stands for Occupational Therapist.  They work on fine motor skills like grasping, holding objects, etc. You can purchase indiviual books to use at home!

Another great program is Touch Math.  Especially for boys!  They use visual and tactile learning to help students.  Love it!

If you know of any other programs that are helpful, please let me know!
